Content descriptor pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences

Elaborations

• • Elaboration posing questions about simple relationships between push and pull forces, such as: ‘Does a toy car go further if it is pushed harder?’
• • Elaboration posing questions about how animals meet their needs in particular places, such as: ‘Where does it shelter? Where does it get water from?’
• • Elaboration making predictions about plant needs, such as: ‘I think a plant will die if it doesn’t get enough water’
• • Elaboration making predictions about types of animals and plants they might observe in a particular place, such as a garden or pond
• • Elaboration making predictions about patterns of observable phenomena such as seasonal changes of plants or changes in temperatures across the seasons
