Google folder with Googles Slides and accompanying studnent journal files
This is a second-grade student science experience tied to SEEd standard 2.3.3. In this experience students explore how objects with different functions can be made of the same pieces.
These experiences were designed to support students in engaging in science investigations with siblings and/or parents at home and then report back about what was discovered. They were created in a way that is easily adaptable for both online and printed formats. They are formatted to help students wonder about and investigate the science phenomena happening in the world around them. These experiences do not describe how students should write up and return work to their teacher. It is up to each teacher to adapt them to best meet student needs. When individualized by the teacher, a student could be asked to engage in one or more of these experiences a week and report back. This format aligns closely to the vision and expectation of the SEEd standards.
Develop and use a model to describe how an object, made of a small set of pieces, can be disassembled and reshaped into a new object with a different function. Emphasize that a great variety of objects can be built from a small set of pieces. Examples of pieces could include wooden blocks or building bricks.
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about changes in matter caused by heating or cooling. Emphasize that some changes can be reversed, and some cannot. Examples of reversible changes could include freezing water or melting crayons. Examples of irreversible changes could include cooking an egg or burning wood.
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.
Integrated science and literacy lesson plans for Grades 1-2 developed by Cache County School District.
Students will learn that animals have parts that are called features, and those features have functions that allow them to survive in their habitat. Students will conduct research on an animal of their choice and write an informative paragraph about that animals features.

Thanksgiving Point lesson plan about observing weather patterns
This is a third-grade student science experience tied to SEEd standard 3.1.1. In this experience students analyze data by looking for patterns that identify typical weather conditions during a season.

Thanksgiving Point lesson plan about climate patterns
Design a solution that reduces the effects of a weather-related hazard. Define the problem, identify criteria and constraints, develop possible solutions, analyze data from testing solutions, and propose modifications for optimizing a solution. Examples could include barriers to prevent flooding or wind-resistant roofs.
Thanksgiving Point lesson plan about natural disasters
Thanksgiving Point lesson plan about animal life cycles
Google Slides presentation showing baby animal pictures - Life Cycle Investigations. This presentation goes along with the "3.3.2 Lesson Plan - Predict Future Motion" lesson plan.
Desription
Thanksgiving Point lesson plan about human genetic traits
Analyze and interpret data to identify patterns of traits that plants and animals have inherited from parents. Emphasize the similarities and differences in traits between parent organisms and offspring and variation of traits in groups of similar organisms.
