Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) - Science Grade K

	STRAND					NGSS.K-PS	PHYSICAL SCIENCE
		TITLE				K-PS2	Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
							Students who demonstrate understanding can:
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-PS2-1	Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object. (materials correlated to this standard)
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-PS2-2	Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull. (materials correlated to this standard)
		TITLE				K-PS3	Energy
							Students who demonstrate understanding can:
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-PS3-1	Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s surface. (materials correlated to this standard)
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-PS3-2	Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area. (materials correlated to this standard)
	STRAND					NGSS.K-LS	LIFE SCIENCE
		TITLE				K-LS1	From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
							Students who demonstrate understanding can:
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-LS1-1	Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. (materials correlated to this standard)
	STRAND					NGSS.K-ESS	EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE
		TITLE				K-ESS2	Earth’s Systems
							Students who demonstrate understanding can:
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-ESS2-1	Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time. (materials correlated to this standard)
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-ESS2-2	Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.
		TITLE				K-ESS3	Earth and Human Activity
							Students who demonstrate understanding can:
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-ESS3-1	Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live. (materials correlated to this standard)
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-ESS3-2	Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-ESS3-3	Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment. (materials correlated to this standard)
	STRAND					NGSS.K-2-ETS	ENGINEERING DESIGN
		TITLE				K-2-ETS1	Engineering Design
							Students who demonstrate understanding can:
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-2-ETS1-1	Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. (materials correlated to this standard)
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-2-ETS1-2	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. (materials correlated to this standard)
				PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION		K-2-ETS1-3	Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
