 Kindergarten:

K.P.1.1 – 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.

K.P.1.2 – 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

K.P.2.1 – Classify objects by observable physical properties (including
size, color, shape, texture, weight and flexibility).

K.P.2.2 – 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.

First Grade:

1.P.1.1 – Explain the importance of a push or pull to changing the
motion of an object

1.P.1.3 – Predict the effect of a given force on the motion of an object,
including balanced forces.

Second Grade:

2.H.1.2 – Identify contributions of historical figures (community,
state, nation and world) through various genres

Third Grade:

3.P.1.1 – Infer changes in speed or direction resulting from forces acting
on an object.

3.P.1.3 – Explain the effects of earth’s gravity on the motion of any
object on or near the earth.

3.P.2.1 – Recognize that air is a substance that surrounds us, takes up
space and has mass.

Fourth Grade:

4.P.3.1 – Recognize the basic forms of energy (light, sound, heat,
electrical, and magnetic) as the ability to cause motion or
create change

Fifth Grade

5.P.1.1 – Explain how factors such as gravity, friction, and change in
mass affect the motion of objects

5.P.1.2 – Infer the motion of objects in terms of how far they travel in a
certain amount of time and the direction in which they travel

5.P.1.4 – Predict the effect of a given force or a change in mass on the
motion of an object

Seventh Grade:

7.P.1.1 – Explain how the motion of an object can be described by its

other object

7.P.1.2 – Explain the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces acting
on an object (including friction, gravity and magnets).

7.P.2.1 – Explain how kinetic and potential energy contribute to the
mechanical energy of an object.

another (specifically potential energy and kinetic energy)
using a model or diagram of a moving object (roller coaster,
pendulum, or cars on ramps as examples)

7.P.2.3 – Recognize that energy can be transferred from one system to
another when two objects push or pull on each other over a
distance (work) and electrical circuits require a complete loop
through which an electrical current can pass.

levers and wheel and axles are used to create mechanical
advantage and increase efficiency
