These are the Science Penguin resources we recommend based on your state’s standards.
Florida Next Generation Sunshine State Standards
These resources will help 4th-grade teachers in Florida.
These resources will help 5th-grade teachers in Florida.
Weather and Climate Activity Pack
Missouri Learning Standards
There resources will work well with your state’s 3rd grade standards. You will need to supplement for some topics.
States of Matter Activity Pack
Changes in Matter Activity Pack
Traits and Behaviors Activity Pack
The 4th-grade science standards in Missouri are the same as NGSS, with minor adjustments.
Therefore we recommend the following products:
Spring Scale Observation Stations
Balloon Rockets Experimental Design
Design an Elevator Simple STEM
The 5th-grade science standards in Missouri are the same as NGSS, with just 3 additional topics.
Therefore we recommend the following products:
Pinhole Cameras: Light and How We See Unit
Ohio Learning Standards
INTERCONNECTIONS WITHIN SYSTEMS
This theme focuses on helping students explore the components of various systems and then investigate dynamic and sustainable relationships within systems using scientific inquiry.
STRAND CONNECTIONS
Matter is what makes up all living and nonliving substances on Earth. Matter has specific properties and exists in different states. Earth’s resources are made of matter. Matter can be used by living things for materials and energy. There are many different forms of energy. Each living component of an ecosystem is composed of matter and uses energy.
STRANDS
Earth’s Resources
Matter and Forms of Energy
Behavior, Growth, and Changes
We recommend the following products for Ohio’s 3rd-grade standards:
Natural Resources Activity Pack
States of Matter Activity Pack
Properties of Matter Labs in a Snap
Changes to Matter Activity Pack
INTERCONNECTIONS WITHIN SYSTEMS
This theme focuses on helping students explore the components of various systems and then investigate dynamic and sustainable relationships within systems using scientific inquiry.
STRAND CONNECTIONS
Heat and electrical energy are forms of energy that can be transferred from one location to another. Matter has properties that allow the transfer of heat and electrical energy. Heating and cooling affect the weathering of Earth’s surface and Earth’s past environments. The processes that shape Earth’s surface and the fossil evidence found can help decode Earth’s history.
STRANDS
Earth’s Surface
Electricity, Heat, and Matter
Earth’s Living History
We recommend the following products for the 4th grade Ohio standards:
Ecosystem Interactions Activity Pack
INTERCONNECTIONS WITHIN SYSTEMS
This theme focuses on helping students explore the components of various systems and then investigate dynamic and sustainable relationships within systems using scientific inquiry.
STRAND CONNECTIONS
Cycles on Earth, such as those occurring in ecosystems, in the solar system, and in the movement of light and sound result in describable patterns. Speed is a measurement of movement. Change in speed is related to force and mass. The transfer of energy drives changes in systems, including ecosystems and physical systems.
STRANDS
Cycles and Patterns in the Solar System
Light, Sound, and Motion
Interactions Within Ecosystems
We recommend the following resources for the 5th-grade Ohio standards:
Earth’s Rotation Activity Pack
Tennessee Academic Standards for Science
These resources will work well with your state’s 3rd-grade standards. You will need to supplement some topics.
