2nd Grade Science Standard 2- Earth and Space Science. Students will gain an understanding of Earth and Space Science through the study of earth materials, celestial movement, and weather.
Objective 1- Describe the characteristics of different rocks.
- Explain how smaller rocks come from the breakage and weathering of larger rocks.
- Describe rocks in terms of their parts (e.g. crystals, grains, cement).
- Sort rocks based upon color, hardness, texture, layering, particle size and type (i.e. igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary).
- Observe, describe, and record patterns in the appearance and apparent motion of the moon in the night sky.
- Observe and describe the number, arrangement and color/brightness of stars in the night sky.
Objective 3- Observe, describe, and measure seasonal weather patterns and local variations.
I chose to make an Animoto video about weather and the elements of it. This is the beginning of the lessons to fully teach this standard. I had the thought of using this video and then having the students track the weather for a length of time and then make their own video based on their findings from their tracking. I would consider using this as a tool in my classroom, but I would probably try to find a different tool for the students, while it was fun making the movie, I feel like i could find a different program that I like better.

- Compare and contrast the seasonal weather patterns during the school year.
- Analyze and interpret data such as temperatures in different locations and different times.
Ed Tech Standard 8- Use technology resources (e.g., calculators, data collection probes, videos, educational software) for problem-solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities.
ISTE- Computational Thinker- Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
