In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/oh-sci-kindergarten Part of: [Ohio: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/oh-sci.md) Goal: Ohio academic standards: Science, Kindergarten ## 1. Nature of Science (K-8) · Science is not static. Science is constantly changing as we acquire more knowledge. - [Asking scientific questions](https://ai.page/c/asking-scientific-questions/index.md): Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research ## 2. Physical Science · Some objects and materials can be made to vibrate to produce sound. - [Vibrations & Sound](https://ai.page/c/vibrations-and-sound/index.md): Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate ## 3. Physical Science · Objects and materials can be sorted and described by their properties - [Grouping Materials](https://ai.page/c/grouping-materials/index.md): Compare and group everyday materials based on their simple physical properties - [Objects vs Materials](https://ai.page/c/objects-vs-materials/index.md): Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, understanding that objects can be made from different materials - [Properties of materials](https://ai.page/c/properties-of-materials/index.md): Compare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour - [Classifying Materials](https://ai.page/c/classifying-materials/index.md): Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties ## 4. Life Science · Living things have physical traits and behaviors, which influence their survival. - [Living Things Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/living-things-vocabulary/index.md): Name and use vocabulary for what makes something living — alive, dead, never been alive, movement, nutrition, growth, reproduction, sensitivity, excretion — and apply these terms when classifying objects and explaining why plants and animals count as living things - [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 - [Living, Dead & Never Alive](https://ai.page/c/living-dead-and-never-alive/index.md): Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive ## 5. Life Science · Living things have specific characteristics and traits. - [Naming Common Animals](https://ai.page/c/naming-common-animals/index.md): Identify and name common animals from major groups: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals - [What Plants Need to Grow](https://ai.page/c/what-plants-need-to-grow/index.md): Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy - [Seeds & Plant Growth](https://ai.page/c/seeds-and-plant-growth/index.md): Observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants through stages of germination and growth - [Offspring resemble parents](https://ai.page/c/offspring-resemble-parents/index.md): Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences ## 6. Earth and Space Science · The moon, sun and stars can be observed at different times of the day or night. - [Sun, Moon & Stars](https://ai.page/c/sun-moon-and-stars/index.md): Identify the Sun, Moon, and stars as objects in the sky and describe basic differences: the Sun gives light and heat during the day, stars are tiny points of light at night, and the Moon can appear in both the day and night sky - [Sun, Moon, and stars](https://ai.page/c/sun-moon-and-stars-science/index.md): Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns such as the sun rising and setting, the moon changing shape, and stars appearing at night ## 7. Earth and Space Science · Weather changes are long term and short term. - [What Is Wind?](https://ai.page/c/what-is-wind/index.md): Know that wind is moving air, that it can be gentle (a breeze) or very strong (a gale), and that wind can move things like leaves, kites, flags, and even push people - [Seasonal changes](https://ai.page/c/seasonal-changes/index.md): Observe changes across the four seasons and describe weather associated with each season, including how day length varies - [Why seasons change](https://ai.page/c/why-seasons-change/index.md): Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year, noticing longer days in summer and shorter days in winter - [Seasons & Weather Patterns](https://ai.page/c/seasons-and-weather-patterns/index.md): Know that weather changes with the seasons — spring brings rain and new growth, summer is warmest with long days, autumn brings cooling and falling leaves, winter is coldest with short days — and that this pattern repeats every year - [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 ## 8. Science Inquiry and Application · Develops ability to reason about cause and effect. - [Drawing conclusions from evidence](https://ai.page/c/drawing-conclusions-from-evidence/index.md): Report on findings from enquiries using oral and written explanations, draw simple conclusions, make predictions, and suggest improvements - [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 ## 9. Science Inquiry and Application · Explores and investigates objects and events in the environment. - [Observing with simple equipment](https://ai.page/c/observing-with-simple-equipment/index.md): Observe closely using simple equipment such as hand lenses, and use observations to describe, compare, and identify things ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 23 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
