CA Academic
Standards
Addressed:
Which California Academic Content and Performance Standards will your lesson address?
Kindergarten
Physical Sciences
1.
Properties of materials can be observed, measured, and predicted. As a
basis for understanding this concept:
a.
Students know objects can be described in terms of the materials they
are made of (e.g., clay, cloth, paper) and their physical properties (e.g., color,
size, shape, weight, texture, flexibility, attraction to magnets, floating, sinking).
Investigation and Experimentation
4.
Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and
conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and
addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their
own questions and perform
investigations. Students will:
a.
Observe common objects by using the five senses.
B . Describe the properties of common objects.
c. Describe the relative position of objects by using one reference
e.
Communicate observations orally and through drawings.
Grade 1
Investigation and Experimentation
4. Students will:
a.
Draw pictures that portray some features of the thing being described.
b.
Record observations and data with pictures, numbers, or written
statements.
c. Record observations on a bar graph.
d. Describe the relative position of objects by using two references (e.g.,
above and below and left of).
e. Make new observations when discrepancies exist between two
descriptions of the same object or phenomenon.
Grade 2
1. The motion of objects can be observed and measured. As a basis for
understanding this concept:
a. Students know the position of an object can be described by locating it in
relation to another object or to the background.
b. Students know an object’s motion can be described by recording the
change in position of the object over time.
c. Students know the way to change how something is moving is by giving it a
push or a pull. The size of the change is related to the strength, or the amount
of force, of the push or pull.

Individual
Student
Learning Needs
Which students need additional modifications/support? How will you modify your instruction
as needed to ensure that all students meet learning outcomes?
Follow-up
Activities/
Homework
How will you follow up this lesson with homework or other extension activities?
Interaction with students during lecture, question period and practice calculations. Repeat
instruction and practice with students that need more practice or explaination. Work directly with
students which had trouble completing the exercise at home by using school site materials/faucets
Discuss and calculate the cost of water usage in the home over the course of a year.
