Description:

Kindergartners will be able to answer questions such as:

What happens if you push or pull an object harder?
Where do animals live and why do they live there?
What is the weather like today and how is different from yesterday?

Kindergartners will also develop an understanding of patterns and variations in local weather, the importance of weather forecasting, and how to prepare for and respond to severe weather. Students will apply their understanding of the effects of different strengths and directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object in order to design a solution to a simple problem. Lastly, they will understand what plants, animals, and humans need to survive and how where they live affects some of their needs.
