Part of: [North Dakota: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/nd-sci.md)

Goal: North Dakota academic standards: Science, Kindergarten

## 1. Engineering & Technology

- [Modelling with Sketches](https://ai.page/c/modelling-with-sketches/index.md): Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem
- [Comparing Design Solutions](https://ai.page/c/comparing-design-solutions/index.md): Analyse data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each design
- [Simple tests and experiments](https://ai.page/c/simple-tests-and-experiments/index.md): Perform simple tests and use observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions

## 2. Earth and Human Activity

- [Reducing Human Impact](https://ai.page/c/reducing-human-impact/index.md): Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and other living things in the local environment
- [Weather Forecasting & Safety](https://ai.page/c/weather-forecasting-and-safety/index.md): Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting and how people prepare for and respond to severe weather
- [Plants and animals in their habitats](https://ai.page/c/plants-and-animals-in-their-habitats/index.md): Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals and the places they live, connecting organism needs to habitat features

## 3. Earth's Systems

- [How Organisms Shape Habitats](https://ai.page/c/how-organisms-shape-habitats/index.md): Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals can change the environment to meet their needs
- [Local weather patterns](https://ai.page/c/local-weather-patterns/index.md): Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions

## 4. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

- [What Living Things Need](https://ai.page/c/what-living-things-need/index.md): Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions

## 5. Energy

- [Sunlight warms things up](https://ai.page/c/sunlight-warms-things-up/index.md): Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects
- [Building shade from the sun](https://ai.page/c/building-shade-from-the-sun/index.md): Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area, such as a shade or shelter

## 6. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

- [Pushes & Pulls](https://ai.page/c/pushes-and-pulls/index.md): Understand that pushes and pulls are forces that can change the speed or direction of an object's motion, and compare the effects of different strengths and directions
- [Testing Push & Pull Designs](https://ai.page/c/testing-push-and-pull-designs/index.md): Analyse data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull
