CT - Grades PreK-2 Core Scientific Inquiry, Literacy and Numeracy
SCIENTIFIC LITERACY: Scientific literacy includes speaking, listening, presenting, interpreting, reading and writing about science.
A INQ. 3 – Make predictions based on observed patterns.
A INQ. 4 - Read, write, listen and speak about observations of the natural world.
K.1 - Objects have properties that can be observed and used to describe similarities and differences.
A1. Use the senses and simple measuring tools, such as rulers and equal-arm balances, to observe common objects and sort them into groups based on size, weight, shape or color.
MA - Earth & Space Science, Grades PreK – 2
Earth's Materials
2. Understand that air is a mixture of gases that is all around us and that wind is moving air.
The Sun as a Source of Light and Heat
4. Recognize that the sun supplies heat and light to the earth and is necessary for life.

Living Things and their Environment
6. Recognize that people and other animals interact with the environment through their senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste.
NY – Standard 4 – Science (Elementary)
Physical Setting
1. The Earth and celestial phenomena can be described by principles of relative motion and perspective.
Students:
• describe patterns of daily, monthly, and seasonal changes in their environment.
3. Matter is made up of particles whose properties determine the observable characteristics of matter and its reactivity.
Students:
• describe chemical and physical changes, including changes in states of matter.
5. Energy and matter interact through forces that result in changes in motion.
Students:
•describe the effects of common forces (pushes and pulls) on objects, such as those caused by gravity, magnetism, and mechanical forces.
