Science and Technology - Elementary Cycle 1
Competencies:
To explore the world of science and technology
Progressions - See the Progressions Lists for Science & technology HERE
Science Journals
I have made these simple and easy-to-use science journals that help cover the progressions for cycle 1. Each journal includes a concept poster that you can use to teach your child the concept and one or two worksheets or activities that you can use to show your child's learning. If your kiddo seems really into a concept you can further the learning with books, videos, and supplies. But this journal will help show proof of their learning and having followed the progressions.
Science Journal 1 - Matter Investigations 1
Covers the following progressions:
- Classifies objects according to their properties
- Classifies materials according to their degree of absorption
- Distinguishes between materials that are permeable to water and those that are not
- Distinguishes between translucent (transparent or coloured) and opaque substances
Covers the following progressions:
- Recognizes mixtures in their environment
- Distinguishes between mixtures of miscible and immiscible liquids
- Distinguishes between substances that are soluble in water
- Distinguishes among the 3 states of matter
- Recognizes water in its solid, liquid, and gaseous state
- Describes the operation involved in changing water from one state to another (heating, cooling)
- Determines the state of various objects and substances in their environment
- Conservation of matter - recognizes that the quantity of matter remains the same once a change has occured
- Effects of a force on the direction of an object
- Identifies situations involving the force of friction (pushing on an object, sliding an object, rolling an object)
- Recognizes the effects of magnetism on magnets (attraction and repulsion)
- Identifies situations in which magnets are used
- Describes the parts and mechanisms that make up an object
- Identifies the needs that an object was originally designed to meet
- Identifies natural sources of fresh water (brooks, lakes, rivers) and natural sources of salt water (oceans, seas)
- Describes different types of precipitation
- Describes the influence of the apparent position of the sun on the length of shadows
- Associates the sun with the idea of a star, the Earth with the idea of a planet, and the moon with the idea of a natural satellite
- Describes the changes to the environment throughout the seasons (temperature, amount of daylight, type of precipitation)
- Explains the sensations experienced (hot, cold, comfortable) with regard to temperature measurements
- Describes the functions of certain parts of the anatomy (e.g. limbs, head, heart, stomach)
- Names the basic needs for plant growth (water, air, light)
- Compares the nutrition of domestic animals with that of wild animals
- Describes the physical characteristics that demonstrate how animals adapt to their environment
- Describes the behaviours of animals that enable them to adapt to their environment
