This activity helps students develop concepts and language related to position by experimenting with the size and relationships between two circles in a qualitative way. They use terms such as outside, touching and overlapping. The Teachers' Notes page includes suggestions for implementation and discussion questions. Students then can move to a follow-up activity, 3 Rings, cataloged separately.

Students are confronted with a scenario of a student who is texting and driving in the school parking lot and they are tasked to determine the effect of various parameters to see if a student will collide with a pedestrian. Students must begin by breaking the scenario down into more manageable parts to determine what must be studied about the situation. Through a series of labs and activities, students learn how to model and predict situations with constant velocity and acceleration. Then, coding a spreadsheet, students model the complex situation of a texting driver, reacting, and braking during a potentially hazardous situation to create an evidence-based argument.

After reading stories about relationships, students will record their thoughts using a "Before" and "After" organizer.

Dr. Seuss' story "Horton Hears a Who" is used in this lesson to prompt a discussion about communities and cooperation.

Students will select four characters from familiar books and determine if they have healthy or unhealthy characteristics.

Students will sort breakfast food items into sources: store, factory, natural world, and farm.

After reading Joan Sweeney's book "Me On the Map", students will create a map of their bedroom and of their house.

Playing the World Game will make students more familiar with continents, oceans, countries and states.
