Part of: [Washington: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/wa-sci.md)

Goal: Washington academic standards: Science, Kindergarten

## 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

- [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

## 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.

- [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

## 3. Earth and Space Sciences

- [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

## 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.

- [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

## 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.

- [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
- [Habitats & Basic Needs](https://ai.page/c/habitats-and-basic-needs/index.md): 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
- [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

## 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 

- [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

## 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

- [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
