2-PS1-2   Matter and Its Interactions

Students who demonstrate understanding can:

2-PS1-2. Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.* [Clarification Statement: Examples of properties could include, strength, flexibility, hardness, texture, and absorbency.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment of quantitative measurements is limited to length.]
The performance expectation above was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices

Analyzing and Interpreting Data

Analyzing data in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to collecting, recording, and sharing observations.

Common Core State Standards Connections:

ELA/Literacy —
RI.2.8Describe how reasons support specific points the author makes in a text. (2-PS1-2)
W.2.7 Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations). (2-PS1-2)
W.2.8 Recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question. (2-PS1-2)
Mathematics —
MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (2-PS1-2)
MP.4 Model with mathematics. (2-PS1-2)
MP.5 Use appropriate tools strategically. (2-PS1-2)
2.MD.D.10 Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph. (2-PS1-2)
