Earth & Space Sciences – Weather, Climate, Air Movement

• Pre-Kindergarten
  • 3.3.PK.A7: Ask questions about objects, organisms, and events—to build inquiry around air and weather phenomena.
  • 3.3.PK.B3: Use the five senses and simple equipment to gather data—for example, feeling wind direction or observing bubble movement.
• Kindergarten
  • 3.3.K.A7: Ask questions about objects, organisms, and events—extend to questions like “Which way is the wind blowing?”
  • 3.3.K.B3: Use senses and simple tools (e.g., pinwheels or bubbles) to gather data about air movement.
• Grade 1
  • 3.3.1.A7: Ask questions about phenomena like wind or why bubbles move in the air.
  • 3.3.1.B3: Gather data using simple tools—students can use DIY bubble wands to observe airflow and direction.
• Grade 2
  • 3.3.2.A7: Ask questions about air-related events, such as what affects bubble flight direction.
  • 3.3.2.B3: Use senses and tools to gather and record information on how wind moves objects, including bubbles.

Physical Sciences – Matter & Energy (Air Properties)

Explore matter and energy through hands-on investigation—such as mixing bubble solution, observing air filling bubbles, and testing how wind affects bubbles. These concepts are covered under Properties of Matter, Structure of Matter, Matter & Energy, and Science as Inquiry within physical sciences.

Pre-K to Grade 2 (standards 3.2.PK/B, 3.2.K/B, 3.2.1/B, 3.2.2/B)
