 Third Grade 3.PS.2: Matter exists in different states, each of which has different properties.
 Third Grade 3.NF.1 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.

Activity 3: Insulation Exploration
 Third Grade 3.MD. Solve problems involving money, measurement, and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
 Fourth Grade 4.PS.2: Energy can be transferred from one location to another or can be transformed from one form to another.
 Fourth Grade 4.MD.1 Know relative sizes of the metric measurement units within one system of units.
 Fifth Grade 5.MD.1 Know relative sizes of these U.S. customary measurement units: pounds, ounces, miles, yards, feet, inches, gallons, quarts, pints, cups, fluid ounces, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Activity 4: Animal Tracking
 First Grade 1.LS.1 Living things have basic needs, which are met by obtaining materials from the physical environment.
 First Grade 1.LS.2: Living things survive only in environments that meet their needs.
 Third Grade SL.2.4 Tell a story or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking audibly in coherent sentences.
 Fourth Grade 4.LS.1: Changes in an organism’s environment are sometimes beneficial to its survival and sometimes harmful.

Activity 5: Walking on Snow
 Kindergarten K.LS.2: Living things have physical traits and behaviors, which influence their survival.
 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.

Social Studies Standards
 Kindergarten: Personal history can be shared through stories and pictures. Humans depend on and impact the physical environment in order to supply food, clothing and shelter.
 First Grade: Families interact with the physical environment differently in different times and places. Diverse cultural practices address basic human needs in various ways and may change over time. Maps can be used to locate and identify places.
 Second Grade: Human activities alter the physical environment, both positively and negatively. Cultures develop in unique ways, in part through the influence of the physical environment.
 Third Grade: Evidence of positive and negative human modification of the environment can be observed in the local community.
 Fifth Grade: Regions can be determined using data related to various criteria including landform, climate, population, and cultural and economic characteristics.
 Sixth Grade: Regions can be determined, classified and compared using data related to various criteria including landform, climate, population, and cultural and economic characteristics.

Activity 5 – Walking in Snow
 First Grade 1-LS1-1. Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.
