STANDARD 3000-01: Students will make observations
using the five senses.
OBJECTIVES:
- 3000-0101: Identify the five senses and communicate
the kind of information that each sense provides.
- Observe common objects and living things from
the surroundings using each of the five senses.
- Use appropriate language to report observations
made through each sense.
- Identify the location and function of each sense
organ.
Five
Senses - Lesson plan
Seeing,
Hearing, and Smelling the World - Great teacher
resource
Body Science - Exploring the sense of hearing
The
Five Senses Webquest - An Internet journey
All
About Me: My Senses - Hands-on lesson plan for
making popcorn; includes related literature references
- 3000-0103: Use instruments to extend the senses.
- Make observations using tools (e.g., glasses,
binoculars, hearing aids, stethoscopes, etc.) to
extend the sense of sight and the sense of hearing.
- Record and compare observations made using senses
alone and then observations made assisted by instruments.

Two by Two
- A life science unit studying pairs of similar animals.
STANDARD 3000-02: Students will use
their senses to observe, describe, and categorize
animals.
OBJECTIVES:
- 3000-0201: Observe, describe, and categorize
animals according to unique characteristics
(e.g., shape, size, color, body coverings,
where they live, how they move, etc.).
- Observe characteristics of animals.
- Analyze different ways animals can be
categorized.
Life
in the Sea - Online activity
Animal Perfectus - Looks at animal characteristics;
students create their own animals
Fin, Feathers, or Fur? - Observing and
graphing animal characteristics
Hatched From an Egg - Animal identification
and categorizing
Animals
- Lesson plan designed to help students
learn about the categories of animals

STANDARD 3000-03: Students
will observe weather and describe
how seasonal changes affect living
things.
OBJECTIVES:
- 3000-0302: Observe and describe
seasonal changes and communicate
how those changes affect living
things.
- Observe how plants look during
different seasons.
- Observe how people dress and
behave differently based on
seasonal changes.
- Describe how plants and animals
respond to changes in seasons.
- Generalize from data the typical
weather for a season.
Seasons - Observing a tree through
the changing seasons
Falling Into Leaves - Exploring
how and why leaves change colors

STANDARD 3000-04:
Students will determine
the effects of magnets on
objects in the environment.
OBJECTIVES:
- 3000-0401: Identify,
describe, and demonstrate
the characteristics of
magnets.
- Predict which objects
will be attracted
by a magnet.
- Observe and report
which objects magnets
will attract.
- Identify materials
through which magnetism
will pass (e.g., air,
water, wood, and paper).
Magnets - A lesson plan exploring
the properties of magnets
Magnet
Lesson Plan - How
magnets work
Magnets - Great teacher resource
with several lesson plans
- 3000-0402: Sort magnets
by visible characteristics.
- Compare and contrast
physical properties
of a given set of
magnets (e.g., shape,
size, color, etc.).
- Correctly categorize
an additional magnet
that is not part of
the original set.
- Infer that there
may not be any relationship
between visible characteristics
and strength.
- 3000-0403: Identify
uses for magnets in school
and at home and communicate
findings.
- Observe and describe
how magnets are used
in the home and school
settings.
- Discover new uses
for magnets.
