Insect PBL K2 TEKS Kindergarten: Science • ask questions about organisms, objects, and events observed in the natural world.[2A] • plan and conduct simple descriptive investigations such as ways objects move.[2B] • collect data and make observations using simple equipment such as hand lenses, primary balances, and non-standard measurement tools.[2C] • record and organize data and observations using pictures, numbers, and words.[2D] • communicate observations with others about simple descriptive investigations.[2E] • collect information using tools, including computers, hand lenses, primary balances, cups, bowls, magnets, collecting nets, and notebooks; timing devices, including clocks and timers; non-standard measuring items such as paper clips and clothespins; weather instruments such as demonstration thermometers and wind socks. materials to support observations of habitats of organisms such as terrariums and aquariums.[4A] • use senses as a tool of observation to identify properties and patterns of organisms, objects, and events in the environment.[4B] • observe and record properties of objects, including relative size and mass, such as bigger or smaller and heavier or lighter, shape, color, and texture.[5A shape.[10A] • identify parts of plants such as roots, stem, and leaves and parts of animals such as head, eyes, and limbs.
