1. Environmental and Sustainability Education · Through project-based learning, develop an investigation related to the interconnected spheres of nature, society, and the economy in partnership with loca

1. Local weather patterns: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions

2. K–2 Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science · Use modeling, investigation, and data to design, test, and improve solutions to simple problems that can be solved through engineering.

1. Modelling with Sketches: 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
2. Comparing Design Solutions: Analyse data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each design

3. Earth and Space Sciences

1. Reducing Human Impact: Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and other living things in the local environment

4. Earth and Space Sciences · Use evidence and data to show and explain patterns in local weather and how humans use those patterns to plan ahead and design for safety.

1. Weather Forecasting & Safety: Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting and how people prepare for and respond to severe weather

5. Life Science · Use evidence and modeling to show and explain what living things need to survive and how they get it from the places they live.

1. Plants and animals in their habitats: 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
2. Habitats & Basic Needs: Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how habitats provide for basic needs and how organisms depend on each other
3. How Organisms Shape Habitats: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals can change the environment to meet their needs

6. Physical Science · Use evidence and investigation to show how sunlight affects temperature of surfaces; use learned understandings to design and build a structure that can decrease the temperature of

1. Sunlight warms things up: Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects
2. Building shade from the sun: 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

7. Physical Science · Use evidence, data, and investigation to show and compare how pushes and pulls affect the motion of objects; apply learned understandings to design and test ways to intentionally co

1. Pushes & Pulls: 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
