Title: 2-PS1 Matter and Its Interactions

Performance Expectation: Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.* [Clarification Statement: Examples of properties could include, strength, flexibility, hardness, texture, and absorbency.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment of quantitative measurements is limited to length.]

Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter Different properties are suited to different purposes.

Science & Engineering Practices: Analyzing and Interpreting Data Analyze data from tests of an object or tool to determine if it works as intended.

Crosscutting Concepts: Cause and Effect Simple tests can be designed to gather evidence to support or refute student ideas about causes. Connections to Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science: Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World Every human-made product is designed by applying some knowledge of the natural world and is built using materials derived from the natural world.

Enduring Understanding: Media artists require a range of skills and abilities to creatively solve problems within and through media arts productions.
Essential Question(s): What skills are required for creating effective media artworks and how are they improved? How are creativity and innovation developed within and through media arts productions? How do media artists use various tools and techniques?
Process Component(s): Practice

Performance Standard(s):
a. Enact roles to demonstrate basic ability in various identified artistic, design, technical, and soft skills, such as tool use and collaboration, in media arts productions. b. Demonstrate use of experimentation skills, such as playful practice and trial and error, within and through media arts productions.

Cluster:
Represent and interpret data.

Standard:
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems4 using information presented in a bar graph.

Footnote:
See Glossary, Table 1.

Cluster:
Relate addition and subtraction to length.

Standard:
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems involving lengths that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Cluster:
Work with time and money.

Standard:
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Cluster:
Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.

Standard:
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Footnote:
See Glossary, Table 1.

Standard:
Plan and deliver longer oral presentations on a variety of topics and content areas (e.g., retelling story, recounting a science experiment, describing how to solve a mathematics problem).

Overarching Standard:
HSS-2.3 Students explain governmental institutions and practices in the United States and other countries.

Standard:
Describe the ways in which groups and nations interact with one another to try to resolve problems in such areas as trade, cultural contacts, treaties, diplomacy, and military force.

Title: K–2-ETS1 Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science

Performance Expectation: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems A situation that people want to change or create can be approached as a problem to be solved through engineering. Asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems. Before beginning to design a solution, it is important to clearly understand the problem.

Science & Engineering Practices: Asking Questions and Defining Problems Ask questions based on observations to find more information about the natural and/or designed world(s). Define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Crosscutting Concepts: N/A
