3 Florida Second Grade Sunshine State Standards Alignment Scientific Inquiry BIG IDEA 1: The Practice of Science A: Scientific inquiry is a multifaceted activity; the processes of science include the formulation of scientifically investigable questions, construction of investigations into those questions, the collection of appropriate data, the evaluation of the meaning of those data, and the communication of this evaluation. B: The processes of science frequently do not correspond to the traditional portrayal of the scientific method. C: Scientific argumentation is a necessary part of scientific inquiry and plays an important role in the generation and validation of scientific knowledge. D: Scientific knowledge is based on observation and inference; it is important to recognize that these are very different things. Not only does science require creativity in its methods and processes, but also in its questions and explanations. SC.2.N.1.1 Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them in teams through free exploration and systematic observations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations.

4 Physical Science BIG IDEA 8: Properties of Matter A: All objects and substances in the world are made of matter. Matter has two fundamental properties: matter takes up space and matter has mass. B: Objects and substances can be classified by their physical and chemical properties. Mass is the amount of matter (or stuff ) in an object. Weight, on the other hand, is the measure of force of attraction (gravitational force) between an object and Earth. The concepts of mass and weight are complicated and potentially confusing to elementary students. Hence, the more familiar term of weight is recommended for use to stand for both mass and weight in grades K-5. By grades 6-8, students are expected to understand the distinction between mass and weight, and use them appropriately. SC.2.P.8.3 SC.2.P.8.4 SC.2.P.8.5 Recognize that solids have a definite shape and that liquids and gases take the shape of their container. Observe and describe water in its solid, liquid, and gaseous states.

SC.2.P.8.1 SC.2.P.8.2 Observe and measure objects in terms of their properties, including size, shape, color, temperature, weight, texture, sinking or floating in water, and attraction and repulsion of magnets.

Pouring Over Volume Cup Comparisons Rainwater Tea Gallons Galore BIG IDEA 9: Changes in Matter A: Matter can undergo a variety of changes. B: Matter can be changed physically or chemically. SC.2.P.9.1 Investigate that materials can be altered to change some of their properties, but not all materials respond the same way to any one alteration.

5 BIG IDEA 10: Forms of Energy A: Energy is involved in all physical processes and is a unifying concept in many areas of science. B: Energy exists in many forms and has the ability to do work or cause a change. SC.2.P.10.1 Discuss that people use electricity or other forms of energy to cook their food, cool or warm their homes, and power their cars.

If It s Up, It Must Come Down What s Up? SC.2.P.13.4 Demonstrate that the greater the force (push or pull) applied to an object, the greater the change in motion of the object. Lid Skid Puffer Paths Island Hoppers BIG IDEA 13: Forces and Changes in Motion A: It takes energy to change the motion of objects. B: Energy change is understood in terms of forces pushes or pulls. C: Some forces act through physical contact, while others act at a distance. SC.2.P.13.1 Investigate the effect of applying various pushes and pulls on different objects.

6 Topic Magnetism Key Question To what will a magnet stick? Learning Goals Students will: test everyday objects to determine if they are or are not attracted to a magnet, sort and graph objects based on whether or not they are magnetic, and draw conclusions about what magnetic materials have in common. Guiding Documents Project 2061 Benchmarks Without touching them, a magnet pulls on all things made of iron and either pushes or pulls on other magnets. Keep records of their investigations and observations. NRC Standards Plan and conduct a simple investigation. Magnets attract and repel each other and certain kinds of other materials. Math Graphing Science Physical science force magnetism Integrated Processes Observing Comparing and contrasting Classifying Predicting Recording Materials Ring magnets (see Management 1) A variety of classroom objects (see Management 2) Student recording page Class graph Masking tape Prediction cards (see Management 4) Background Information Magnetism is an unseen force that interacts with other objects. All substances actually display magnetic properties, but most show them to such a small degree that we usually consider these materials nonmagnetic. Highly sophisticated scientific equipment is needed to detect magnetic characteristics at these low levels. On the other hand, a few metallic elements such as iron, nickel, cobalt, rare earths, plus some of their alloys like steel and strontium ferrite display magnetic properties strongly enough to be considered magnetic. All metals are not considered magnetic, a common misconception easily corrected by observing a common magnet s effect on brass, copper, or aluminum. The earliest records of magnets come from Magnesia in Asia Minor. It is believed that the word magnet comes from the name of the city. Lodestones, or naturally occurring magnets, were found in large amounts in the area. These natural magnets attracted pieces of iron. The modern name for lodestone is magnetite. Safety note: Do not use magnets near electronic equipment and cards with magnetic strips, such as credit cards. Magnets will damage these objects. Also, tell children that magnets can lose their magnetic force if they are dropped. Management 1. Ring magnets (order number 1971) are available from AIMS. 2. Prior to teaching this lesson, gather objects to test, such as keys, coins, paper clips, brass paper fasteners, scissors, erasers, pencils, safety pins, soda cans, etc. Core Curriculum/Florida AIMS Education Foundation

7 3. Prepare a concrete class graph by placing Stick and No Stick labels on the floor and dividing the two categories with a strip of masking tape. 4. Copy a set of Stick and No Stick prediction cards for each student. Procedure 1. Ask the Key Question. Record student responses on the board. 2. Give each child a set of Stick and No Stick prediction cards. Practice using the cards so the children can tell which card shows that the object stuck to the magnet and which shows that the item did not stick to the magnet. 3. Choose an object. Discuss the characteristics of the object, including what it is made of plastic, metal, paper, wood, etc. Have students use their prediction cards to indicate whether they think a magnet will stick to the object or not. 4. Invite a student to touch the object with a magnet and determine if the magnet sticks or not and then place the object in the appropriate column of the class graph. 5. Repeat procedures three and four with several additional objects. 6. When all of the objects have been explored, discuss the results as shown by the graph. Generalize what type of materials a magnet will stick to. 7. When students are familiar with the process, divide them into small groups and allow them to choose four objects from the classroom to sort based on their interaction with a magnet stick or no stick. 8. Distribute the student page and have students record the results of the exploration in either pictures or words. 9. End with a time for students to share their results. Connecting Learning 1.
