4.a. Observe common objects using the five senses.||CA Science||Grade Kindergarten||04. Investigation and Experimentation||4. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions & conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept, and to address the content of the other strands, students will develop questions & perform investigations.|||1.c. The way to change how something is moving is to give it a push or a pull. The size of the change is related to the strength, or the amount of “force,” of the push or pull.||CA Science||Grade 2||01.
