Inventors- 4th To 6th Grade
Elementary students in grades 2nd to 3rd can become a real scientist and learn by doing fun science experiments. Our programs and science activities align with the curriculum for elementary education and offer elementary science in a totally hands-on and participatory manner.
DETAILS :
We will conduct 60 minutes session every week depending upon the Session you choose. Please check the Schedule Tab to see all the session options that you have. You can select the session that suits your schedule. The 60-minute session is divided into theory followed by a hands-on experiment. Lessons are conducted in a live instructor-led learning environment, with abundant opportunities to explore and interact with their peers. For Fall 20202, classes will start from August 27th and will run through December 17th. There will be total 16 sessions for the Fall Semester and we will cover topics which align with NGSS standard for the grade level. For a detail of the topics, please click on the Lessons Tab. All Sessions are conducted in-person and limited to 6 students only. .
| Lesson Plans | NGSS Standard | Standard Description |
|---|---|---|
| Animal & Plant Life Cycles | 3-LS1-1 | Use simple graphical representations to show that different types of organisms have unique and diverse life cycles. Describe that all organisms have birth, growth, reproduction, and death in common but there are a variety of ways in which these happen. |
| Balanced & Unbalanced Forces | 3-PS2-1 | Provide evidence to explain the effect of multiple forces, including friction, on an object. Include balanced forces that do not change the motion of the object and unbalanced forces that do change the motion of the object. |
| Extreme Weather Solutions | 3-ESS3-1 | Evaluate the merit of a design solution that reduces the damage caused by weather. |
| Magnets & Static Electricity | 3-PS2-3 | Conduct an investigation to determine the nature of the forces between two magnets based on their orientations and distance relative to each other. |
| Magnets & Static Electricity | 3-PS2-4 | Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying the use of the interactions between magnets. |
| Variation of Traits | 3-LS3-1 | Provide evidence, including through the analysis of data, that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exist in a group of similar organisms. |
| Variation of Traits | 3-LS3-2 | Distinguish between inherited characteristics and those characteristics that result from a direct interaction with the environment. Give examples of characteristics of living organisms that are influenced by both inheritance and the environment. |
| Variation of Traits | 3-LS4-2 | Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals within the same species may provide advantages to these individuals in their survival and reproduction. |
| Weather vs. Climate | 3-ESS2-1 | Use graphs and tables of local weather data to describe and predict typical weather during a particular season in an area. |
| Weather vs. Climate | 3-ESS2-2 | Obtain and summarize information about the climate of different regions of the world to illustrate that typical weather conditions over a year vary by region. |
| Collisions | 4-PS3-1 | Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object. |
| Collisions | 4-PS3-3 | Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide. |
| Information Transfer | 4-PS4-3 | Develop and compare multiple ways to transfer information through encoding, sending, receiving, and decoding a pattern. |
| Light Reflection & Vision | 4-PS4-2 | Develop a model to describe that light must reflect off an object and enter the eye for the object to be seen. |
| Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Resources | 4-ESS3-1 | Obtain information to describe that energy and fuels humans use are derived from natural resources and that some energy and fuel sources are renewable and some are not. |
| Wave Properties | 4-PS4-1 | Develop a model of a simple mechanical wave (including sound) to communicate that waves (a) are regular patterns of motion along which energy travels, and (b) can cause objects to move. |
