Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

This lesson is building toward:

PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION (PE)

1-PS4-1

Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate. [Clarification Statement: Examples of vibrating materials that make sound could include tuning forks and plucking a stretched string. Examples of how sound can make matter vibrate could include holding a piece of paper near a speaker making sound and holding an object near a vibrating tuning fork.]

SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES (SEP)

Asking Questions and Defining Problems

Asking questions and defining problems in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to simple descriptive questions.

Ask questions based on observations to find more information about the natural and/or designed world(s).
Ask and/or identify questions that can be answered by an investigation.

Planning and Carrying Out Investigations

Planning and carrying out investigations to answer questions or test solutions to problems in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to simple investigations, based on fair tests, which provide data to support explanations or design solutions.

Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence to answer a question.
Make observations (firsthand or from media) and/or measurements to collect data that can be used to make comparisons.

Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions

Constructing explanations and designing solutions in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to the use of evidence and ideas in constructing evidence-based accounts of natural phenomena and designing solutions.

Make observations (firsthand or from media) to construct an evidence-based account for natural phenomena.

DISCIPLINARY CORE IDEAS (DCI)

PS4.A: Wave Properties

Sound can make matter vibrate, and vibrating matter can make sound. (1-PS4-1).

CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS (CCC)

Cause and Effect

Simple tests can be designed to gather evidence to support or refute student ideas about causes.
Events have causes that generate observable patterns.

EMERGING

EXPANDING

BRIDGING

P1.1.1 Contribute to conversations and express ideas by asking and answering yes-no and wh- questions and responding using gestures, words, and simple phrases.
