Standards for the lesson plan
Physical Science: Festival of Bubbles

• Evidence, models, and explanations
  • Evidence consists of observations and data on which to base scientific explanations.
  • Scientific explanations incorporate existing scientific knowledge and new evidence from observations, experiments, or models.
• Change, constancy, and measurement
  • Different systems of measurement are used for different purposes. Scientists usually use the metric system.

• Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
  • Identify questions that can be answered through scientific investigations.
  • Design and conduct a scientific investigation
  • Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data.
  • Develop descriptions, explanations, predictions, and models using evidence.
  • Think critically and logically to create relationships between evidence and explanations.
  • Communicate scientific procedures and explanations.
  • Use mathematics in all aspects of scientific inquiry.
• Understandings about scientific inquiry
  • Experimenting.
  • Developing explanations.
  • Communicating results.

• Properties and changes of properties in matter
  • A substance has characteristic properties, such as density, a boiling point, and solubility.
• Motions and forces
  • The motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed.
  • An object that is not being subjected to a force will continue to move at a constant speed and in a straight line.
  • Unbalanced forces will cause changes in the speed or direction of an object's motion.

• Abilities of technological design
  • Design a solution or product.
  • Implement a proposed design.
• Understandings about science and technology
  • Technological designs have constraints.

• Understandings of science and technology in society
  • Technology influences society through its products and processes.
