Alignments

Check out how our program aligns to Florida Department of Education and Scout benchmarks:

• K - 2

  This program is generally offered for 3 - 8 audiences. If you'd like to reserve it for younger participants, please contact the Education Outreach team and share your focused area of study so that we can tailor the experience based on your needs.

• 3 - 5

  3^rd Grade

  • SC.3.P.10.1: Identify some basic forms of energy such as light, heat, sound, electrical, and mechanical.
  • SC.3.10.2: Recognize that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change.
  • SC.3.N.1.2: Compare the observations made by different groups using the same tools and seek reasons to explain the differences across groups. 

   

  4^th Grade

  • SC.4.N.1.2: Compare the observations made by different groups using multiple tools and seek reasons to explain the differences across groups.
  • SC.4.P.10.2: Investigate and describe that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change.
  • SC.4.P.10.4: Describe how moving water and air are sources of energy and can be used to move things.

   

  5^th Grade

  • SC.5.N.1.3: Recognize and explain the need for repeated experimental trials.
  • SC.5.P.13.1: Identify familiar forces that cause objects to move, such as pushes or pulls, including gravity acting on falling objects.
  • SC.5.P.13.2: Investigate and describe that the greater the force applied to it, the greater the change in motion of a given object.

   

• 6 - 8

  6^th Grade 

  • SC.6.P.13.1: Investigate and describe types of forces including contact forces and forces acting at a distance, such as electrical, magnetic, and gravitational.
  • SC.6.P.13.2: Explore the Law of Gravity by recognizing that every object exerts gravitational force on every other object and that the force depends on how much mass the objects have and how far apart they are.
  • SC.6.P.13.3: Investigate and describe that an unbalanced force acting on an object changes its speed, or direction of motion, or both.

  
  

  7^th Grade

  • SC.7.P.11.2: Investigate and describe the transformation of energy from one form to another.
  • SC.7.N.1.2: Differentiate replication (by others) from repetition (multiple trials).
  • SC.7.N.1.4: Identify test variables (independent variables) and outcome variables (dependent variables) in an experiment.

  
  

  8^th Grade

  • SC.8.N.1.2: Design and conduct a study using repeated trials and replication.
  • SC.8.N.1.6: Understand that scientific investigations involve the collection of relevant empirical evidence, the use of logical reasoning, and the application of imagination in devising hypotheses, predictions, explanations and models to make sense of the collected evidence.
  • SC.8.N.4.2: Explain how political, social, and economic concerns can affect science, and vice versa.
• 9 - 12
  This program is generally offered for 3 - 8 audiences. If you'd like to reserve it for high school level participants, please contact the Education Outreach team and share your focused area of study so that we can upscale the experience based on your needs.
