The Next Generation Science Standards were released in April of 2013 and I have been adding lessons that cover the new standards to my PK - 4 science curriculum. The NGSS recommend teaching Force & Motion to children starting in Kindergarten now. I've created a packet, "Force and Motion" that has 3 fun, hands-on, engaging activities addressing the 2 NGSS Kindergarten Forces & Interactions standards:
K-PS2-1: Plan & conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes & pulls on the motion of an object.
K-PS2-2: Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.
The next packet I created for Kindergarten addresses the NGSS Kindergarten standard Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Animals, Plants, & their Environment. Click here to see What Do Plants and Animals Need?
K-LS1-1: Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.
Have a great holiday!
