In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/tn-sci-kindergarten Part of: [Tennessee: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/tn-sci.md) Goal: Tennessee academic standards: Science, Kindergarten ## 1. Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society - [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 ## 2. Engineering Design - [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 - [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 ## 3. 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 ## 4. Earth's Systems - [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 ## 5. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits - [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. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes - [The Five Senses](https://ai.page/c/the-five-senses/index.md): Explore the five senses in detail: sight uses eyes to detect light, hearing uses ears to detect sound, touch uses skin to feel pressure and temperature, taste uses the tongue to detect flavours, and smell uses the nose to detect odours - [Grouping Materials](https://ai.page/c/grouping-materials/index.md): Compare and group everyday materials based on their simple physical properties - [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 ## 7. Matter and Its Interactions - [Taking Apart & Rebuilding](https://ai.page/c/taking-apart-and-rebuilding/index.md): Observe that an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object, understanding that the pieces still exist - [States of Matter Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/states-of-matter-vocabulary/index.md): Name and distinguish the three states of matter — solid, liquid, and gas — using properties vocabulary: hard, rigid, runny, flows, keeps its shape, fills its container; use 'change of state' to describe what happens when materials are heated or cooled - [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 ## 8. Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer - [Communication with Light & Sound](https://ai.page/c/communication-with-light-and-sound/index.md): Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 15 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
