Create a Chemical Reaction
 First Grade 1.PS.1: Properties of objects and materials can change.
 Third Grade 3.PS.2: Matter exists in different states, each of which has different properties.
 Third Grade 3.MD.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams, kilograms, and liters.
 Fourth Grade 4.MD.1 Know relative sizes of the metric measurement units within one system of units. Metric units include kilometer, meter, centimeter, and millimeter; kilogram and gram; and liter and milliliter.
 Sixth Grade 6.PS.1 Matter is made up of small particles called atoms. (Elements are a class of substances composed of a single kind of atom. Molecules are a combination of two or more atoms that are joined together chemically.)
 Seventh Grade 7.PS.2: Matter can be separated or changed, but in a closed system, the number and types of atoms remains constant. [Note: Chemical reactions are presented as the rearrangement of atoms in molecules.]

Launch a Rocket
 Second Grade 2.PS.1: Forces change the motion of an object.
 Eighth Grade 8.PS.2 Forces can act to change the motion of objects.

 Sixth Grade 6-8.DT.4.c. Apply the design principle “form follows function” to develop a product.


In this box, learners will also write down their scientific findings and connect to digital learning resources through COSI Connects. This will allow them to reach English Language Arts, Technology and Digital Literacy Learning standards.

 W.1.8: With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question.
 W.2.8: Recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question.
 K-2.ST.2.a.: Communicate and collaborate using several digital methods.

3rd through 8th Grade
 3-5.ICT.1.a.: With guidance, identify and use digital learning tools or resources to support planning, implementing and reflecting upon a defined task.
