Course Purpose: |
Kindergarten students will ask and answer questions to determine cause and effect relationships. |
Outcomes and Components:
| SC.K.1 | Students will make observations to describe how different objects move and evaluate the effects of different strengths and directions of pushes and pulls. Students will design a solution to change the effects of pushes and pulls. | ||
