Understand the positions and motions of objects and organisms observed in the environment.
Give examples of different ways objects and organisms move (to include falling to the ground when dropped): (Straight, Zigzag, Round and round, Back and forth, Fast and slow).
Understand how objects are described based on their physical properties and how they are used.
Understand change and observable patterns of weather that occur from day to day and throughout the year
Compare characteristics of animals that make them alike and different from other animals and nonliving things.
Compare the relative position of various objects observed in the classroom and outside using position words such as: in front of, behind, between, on top of, under, above, below and beside.
Classify objects by observable physical properties (including size, color, shape, texture, weight and flexibility).
Compare the observable physical properties of different kinds of materials (clay, wood, cloth, paper, etc) from which objects are made and how they are used.
Infer that change is something that happens to many things in the environment based on observations made using one or more of their senses.
Summarize daily weather conditions noting changes that occur from day to day and throughout the year.
Compare weather patterns that occur from season to season
Compare different types of the same animal (i.e. different types of dogs, different types of cats, etc.) to determine individual differences within a particular type of animal.
Compare characteristics of living and nonliving things in terms of their:
Structure
Growth
Changes
Movement
Basic Needs
Student sort items based upon the materials they are made of (wood,glass, metal or rubber)Students click on the position word to move Edmo to various locations around the dog house. In dog house and Billy Bear direct students to move items in, on around, on top etc
Students click on the various items and help Clifford sort by color, shape, size, and appropriate season.

Click on the Start Again button to view different weather patterns.
Students can predict or report weather findings using this interactive weather station.
Students can examine the weather daily in an effort to track patterns. This interactive site even allows you to print out your data so that your class can create their own weather log.
