Process Standards
The Nature of Science
• Use a scientific notebook to record predictions, questions and observations about data with pictures, numbers or in words.
• Conduct investigations that may happen over time as a class, in small groups, or independently.
• Generate questions and make observations about natural processes.
• Discuss observations with peers and be able to support your conclusion with evidence.
Standard 1 – Core Standard: Observe, manipulate, sort and generate questions about objects and their physical properties.
K.1.1 Use all senses as appropriate to observe, sort and describe objects according to their composition and physical properties, such as size, color, and shape. Explain these choices to others and generate questions about the objects.
K.1.2 Identify and explain possible uses for an object based on its properties and compare these uses with other students’ ideas.
Standard 3 – Core Standard: Observe living organisms, compare and contrast their characteristics, and ask questions about them.
K.3.1 Observe and draw physical features of common plants and animals.
