Discipline - Physical Science

Core Idea - Energy

[K.PS.3.1] - Make observations to determine that sunlight warms materials on Earth’s surface.Clarification Statements: Examples of materials on Earth’s surface could include sand, soil, rocks, and water; Measures of temperature should be limited to relative measures such as warmer/cooler.

Successor Standards:

  • 4.PS.3.2
    Make observations to show that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. Clarification Statement: Evidence of energy being transferred can include vibrations felt a small distance from a source, a solar-powered toy that moves when placed in direct light, warming a metal object on one end and observing the other end getting warm, and a wire carrying electric energy from a battery to light a bulb. State Assessment Boundary: Quantitative measurements of energy are not expected in state assessment.

Same Level Standards:

  • RI.K.3
    With prompting and support, describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.
  • SL.K.5
    Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail.
  • K.MD.A.2
    Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
  • K.PS.3.2
    Use tools and materials to design and build a model of a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.
