Sample Using Science and Math Standards K-4, 6, 8 (The following is by no means exhaustive. Rather, the examples given are meant as a sample of ways in which topics may align with Chicago Academic Standards.) The Expedition For example… Students learn about a recent scientific expedition and the importance of the discoveries made by the expedition team SCIENCE GOAL 13: Working knowledge of the relationships among science, technology, and society in historical and contemporary contexts K-4, 3, 6, 8 CAS C: Describe historical roles of people and societies in the development of current scientific knowledge
PANGAEA & Ancient Environments For example… Students reconstruct the breakup of Pangaea during the Mesozoic Era; students analyze illustrations of the ancient environment to talk about how the world has changed over millions of years SCIENCE Goal 12: Working knowledge of the fundamental concepts and principles of the life, physical and earth/space sciences and their connections K-4 CAS A: Compare and describe the life cycles, basic needs, characteristics and component parts of organisms K-4 CAS B: Understand effects of organisms on the environment and some features that help them to survive and reproduce after a change in their environment K-4 CAS E: Investigate, describe and compare properties of earth's basic materials (water, air, rock), and the natural processes that change the earth's surface.? 6 CAS B. Compare and contrast organisms by their energy use, position in food webs, structures, and adaptations to different environments. 6 CAS E. Analyze natural cycles, interactions, and patterns in the earth's land, water, and atmospheric systems. 8 CAS E: Analyze the properties, functions, and formation of the earth's component features. Comparative Anatomy For example….Students count, compare, estimate, describe and measure similarities and differences between the anatomies of different skeletons GOAL 12 HAVE A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES OF THE LIFE, PHYSICAL, AND EARTH/SPACE SCIENCES AND THEIR CONNECTIONS. K-4 CAS A: Compare and describe life cycles, basic needs, characteristics, and component parts of organisms. 6 CAS B. Compare and contrast organisms by their energy use, position in food webs, structures, and adaptations to different environments. MATH Goal 7: Estimate, make, and use measurements of objects, quantities and relationships, and determine acceptable levels of accuracy. Goal 9: Use geometric methods to analyze, categorize, and draw conclusions about lines, planes and space. All About Dinosaurs For example… Students learn about different kinds of dinosaurs, the periods in which they lived and geographic locations where they have been discovered. SCIENCE Goal 12: Working knowledge of the fundamental concepts and principles of the life, physical and earth/space sciences and their connections K-4 CAS A: Compare and describe the life cycles, basic needs, characteristics and component parts of organisms K-4 CAS B: Understand effects of organisms on the environment and some features that help them to survive and reproduce after a change in their environment 3 CAS A. Compare and describe life cycles, basic needs, characteristics, and component parts of organisms. 6 CAS B. Compare and contrast organisms by their energy use, position in food webs, structures, and adaptations to different environments.
Demonstrate understanding of scientific processes and apply them to experiments: stating a purpose, developing a hypothesis, designing procedures, making observations, collecting data, controlling variables, and establishing relationships based on evidence and logical argument
Reconstruction and Casting For example… students draw missing bones in a skeleton or sculpt bones in clay as well as measure them against a model to check accuracy; cast fossils with a plaster-water ratio; SCIENCE Goal 11: Working knowledge of the processes of scientific inquiry and technological design to investigate questions, conduct experiments and solve problems K-4 CAS B: Design and conduct simple scientific investigations in which observations are made, data are gathered and organized, and reasonable conclusions are drawn. 3 CAS B: Design and conduct simple scientific investigations in which observations are made, data are gathered and organized, and reasonable conclusions are drawn. 6 CAS B. Compare and contrast organisms by their energy use, position in food webs, structures, and adaptations to different environments. 8 CAS B.
