(Kindergarten) Unit 1 Assessment Support Guide: Properties of Materials This support guide should be used as a framework for planning and in unison with the Units of Study. Explicit Common Formative Assessments (CFAs) for every unit are located in Mastery Connect under the appropriate standard. Standard: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the observable properties of matter. Conceptual Understanding: Objects can be described and classified by their observable properties, by their uses, and by whether they can occur naturally or are manufactured (human-made). Different properties of objects are suited for different purposes. NOTE: The SC Computer Science and Digital Literacy Standards are in effect as of this school year. Embedding these standards into your lesson plans is not an option as we move our students towards 21st century learning in preparation of college and career readiness. The following information will be helpful in planning for the incorporation of these very important standards that students need to learn.

K.DL.3.1: Learn how to protect personal information (e.g., username, password). I can learn… I can learn to protect my information by not giving my username to anyone. I can learn to protect my information by not giving my password to anyone. Digital Literacy--Standard 4: Demonstrate effective keyboarding skills on a computing device. K.DL.4.1: Locate letter and number keys. I can learn… I can learn to locate letters on the keyboard I can learn to locate numbers on the keyboard I can learn to locate letter keys that can be used to capitalize the first word in a sentence and the pronoun “I” Computing Systems --Standard 1: Understand that computing devices are used to perform a variety of tasks and take many forms. K.CS.1.2: Recognize that people use computing devices to perform tasks. Connections: Recognize that computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops can be used to collect, store, and display scientific data about the properties of different objects (e.g. use a tablet to photograph objects in the classroom that display different properties. Have students save their photograph and graph the as a class based on different properties). Network and the Internet--Standard 1: Discover that computing devices and the internet enable us to connect with other people, places, information, and ideas. K.NI.1.1: Recognize that people can communicate with others by using connected computing devices (e.g., cell phones, tablets). Connection: Recognize that people can communicate with others by using connected computing devices to share information about various properties of materials (e.g. Skype with another classroom and discuss observations of investigations on observable properties of materials). I can connect to… Other kids in other parts of the country Other kids within the district Other kids within the school Grocery store (e.g. compare fruits and vegetables, etc.) Property of Richland County School District One Early Childhood Education-Science Office of Teaching and Learning 2016 Recycling plant Textile mill/textile worker Wood mill Construction worker/construction site Data and Analysis Standard 2: Explore how computing devices collect and display data. K.DA.2.1: Identify and give examples of data (e.g., lunch choice, weather conditions). Connections: Identify and give examples of properties of materials to sort and classify into two or three categories. Data and Analysis Standard 3: Explore how data can be displayed for communication in many ways. K.DA.3.1: Recognize data displayed in picture graphs. Connections: Recognize and represent properties of materials displayed in picture graphs Data and Analysis Standard 4: Understand how data can be used to make decisions. K.DA.4.1: Draw conclusions and make predictions from picture graphs (e.g., make predictions based on weather data presented in a picture graph). Connections: Draw conclusions and make predictions from picture graphs (e.g. use a picture graph to decide which materials would be best to build a home). What do the students need to know? Observable properties of objects (size, shape, color, texture, weight, flexibility attraction to magnets, ability to sink or float) Different properties of materials (wood, plastic, metal, cloth, paper) Properties of materials data (how to use, collect, and interpret) Different uses/purposes for materials How to determine materials that are natural vs. manufactured (human-made) How to determine a problem or need www.pinterest.com Property of Richland County School District One Early Childhood Education-Science Office of Teaching and Learning 2016 What do the students need to be able to do? “I Can” Statements: Analyze: Examine Study Investigate Consider Question Explore I can analyze a collection of photographs of different materials. I can ask questions from the information I am looking or learning about. I can wonder about different things as I use my 5 senses. Interpret: Understand Read Infer I can interpret data on simple graphs, T-charts, and Venn diagrams. I can read the information on a graph and understand how to use it. Compare: Associate Link Relate Equal Match I can compare different materials and objects. Classify: Categorize Order Organize Sort I can classify objects based on shape, size, color, texture, attraction, and weight. https://www.edhelper.com/teachers/Sorting_graphic_organizers.htm Property of Richland County School District One Early Childhood Education-Science Office of Teaching and Learning 2016 Develop: Improve Change Grow Advance I can develop… A collection of photographs of different materials A project that uses different natural and human-made objects A project using materials best suited to solve a problem or meet a certain need Use: Practice Procedure Habit Routine I can use… Pictures with labels Simple graphs, T-charts, and Venn diagrams Models The design process Describe: Label Define Designate Pronounce Call I can describe… Materials Observable properties of objects www.pinterest.com www.littlebinsforlittlehands.com Property of Richland County School District One Early Childhood Education-Science Office of Teaching and Learning 2016 Investigate: Examine Explore Inspect study I can investigate… Answer to questions about materials Problem or need Answer: Respond www.m.twinkl.co.uk/resource Reply I can… Answer questions about materials and the observable properties of objects.

Property of Richland County School District One Early Childhood Education-Science Office of Teaching and Learning 2016 Questions and Answers Properties of Objects and Materials Guiding Questions How can you describe the properties of an object? http://www.science-sparks.com/introducing-materials/ How can you use your five senses to observe, classify, and compare objects? o Sound Have unmarked containers with objects (i.e., rice, cotton balls, rocks, beads, sponge pieces, erasers, water, etc.) that students have to shake and match up with object choices. Have children classify the sounds as loud or soft. Have children classify the sounds as “sounds I like to hear” or “sounds I don’t like to hear” and place them on a T-chart. Have children discuss why they “like” or “do not like” sounds. o Smell Provide children with little bottles containing cotton ball smells (lemon, cinnamon, lavender, coffee, butterscotch, vinegar, etc.) to explore. Have children classify smells as sweet, pleasant, unpleasant, fruity, strong, flowery, etc. Have children match up smell bottles with object/picture choices. Pick two smell bottles for children to compare each day. Have them create a body graph for their favorite. Pick a few children to tell why the smell is their favorite. How can you use physical properties to classify objects into groups? Children can randomly collect a given number of objects in the classroom or bring in
