Students will
understand the
interdependence of
the parts of a system
by classroom
discussions and
science notebook
writing
Students will
understand how
properties and
characteristics are
used to identify,
describe and
categorize
substances, materials,
and objects (living and
non-living) by
classroom
discussions and
science notebook
writing.
Students will
understand how
interaction
s
within and
among systems
causes changes in
matter and energy by
classroom
discussions and
science notebook
writing.
Teachers will provide
one investigation in
the year to model the
scientific process as
part of/or in addition
to the science
curriculum
Create a list of
investigations
with a
