Physical Science

  • Investigating and communicating the idea that different kinds of materials can be a solid or liquid depending on temperature.

  • Comparing the effects of different strengths or directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

  • Making observations to determine that sunlight warms materials on the Earth’s surface.

  • Using tools and materials to design and build a model of a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.
