2.1.1 Manipulate an object to gain additional information about it.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
-Giant Pendulum
-Swinging Art

2.3.7 Investigate and observe that the way to change how something is moving is to give it a push or a pull.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
-Giant Pendulum
-Crazy Pendulums
-Swinging Art
2.3.8 Demonstrate and observe that magnets can be used to make some things move without being touched.
-Giant Pendulum
2.5.3 Observe that and describe how changing one thing can cause changes in something else, such as exercise and its effect on heart rate.
-Giant Pendulum
2.5.5 Explain that some events can be predicted with certainty, such as sunrise and sunset, and some cannot, such as storms. Understand that people aren't always sure what will happen since they do not know everything that might have an effect.

-Wind Over Water
2.6.1 Investigate that most objects are made of parts.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
-Giant Pendulum
2.6.2 Observe and explain that models may not be the same size, may be missing some details, or may not be able to do all of the same things as the real things.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
2.6.3 Describe that things can change in different ways, such as in size, weight, color, age, and movement. Investigate that some small changes can be detected by taking measurements.
-Giant Pendulum
Art
2.1.6 Visit local museums and exhibits, and experience visiting artists in the schools.
-Generally Applies to All
3rd Grade
Science
3.1.2 Participate in different types of guided scientific investigations, such as observing objects and events and collecting specimens for analysis.
-Giant Pendulum
3.3.5 Give examples of how change, such as weather patterns, is a continual process occurring on Earth.
-Touchable Tornado
3.3.8 Investigate and describe how moving air and water can be used to run machines like windmills and waterwheels.
-Ripple Tank
-Wind Over Water
3.3.9 Demonstrate that things that make sound do so by vibrating, such as vocal cords and musical instruments.
-Visible Sound Strings
3.6.1 Investigate how and describe that when parts are put together, they can do things that they could not do by themselves.
-Swinging Art
3.6.2 Investigate how and describe that something may not work if some of its parts are missing.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
3.6.3 Explain how a model of something is different from the real thing but can be used to learn something about the real thing.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
-Touchable Tornado
-Wind Over Water
3.6.5 Observe that and describe how some changes are very slow and some are very fast and that some of these changes may be hard to see and/or record.
-Giant Pendulum
Art
3.1.6 Visit local museums and exhibits, and experience visiting artists in the schools.
-Generally Applies to All
4th Grade
Science
4.3.2 Begin to investigate and explain that air is a substance that surrounds us and takes up space, and whose movements we feel as wind.
-Wind Over Water
-Windy Wonders
-Air Instrument
-Touchable Tornado
4.3.5 Describe how waves, wind, water, and glacial ice shape and reshape Earth's land surface by the erosion* of rock and soil in some areas and depositing them in other areas.
-Wind Over Water
-Ripple Tank
-Touchable Tornado
4.3.15 Demonstrate that without touching them, a magnet pulls all things made of iron and either pushes or pulls other magnets.
-Giant Pendulum
4.6.1 Demonstrate that in an object consisting of many parts, the parts usually influence or interact with one another.
-Giant Pendulum
-Three-Wheeled Racers
4.6.2 Show that something may not work as well, or at all, if a part of it is missing, broken, worn out, mismatched, or incorrectly connected.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
4.6.3 Recognize that and describe how changes made to a model can help predict how the real thing can be altered.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
5th Grade
Science
5.3.11 Investigate and describe that changes in speed* or direction of motion of an object are caused by forces*. Understand that the greater the force, the greater the change in motion and the more massive an object, the less effect a given force will have.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
-Giant Pendulum
-Wind Over Water
5.3.12 Explain that objects move at different rates, with some moving very slowly and some moving too quickly for people to see them.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
-Animals in Motion
5.3.13 Demonstrate that Earth's gravity pulls any object toward it without touching it.
-Three-Wheeled Racers
-Giant Pendulum
-Crazy Pendulums
-Swinging Art
5.6.4 Investigate, observe, and describe that things change in steady, repetitive, or irregular ways, such as toy cars continuing in the same direction and air temperature reaching a high or low value. Note that the best way to tell which kinds of changes are happening is to make a table or a graph of measurements.
