Mathematics
(2.9) Measurement. The
student directly compares the attributes of length, area, weight/mass, and
capacity, and uses comparative language to solve problems and answer questions.
The student selects and uses nonstandard units to describe length, area,
capacity, and weight/mass. The student recognizes and uses models that
approximate standard units ( from both SI, also known as metric, and customary
systems) of length, weight/mass, capacity, and time. The student is expected
to:
(D) select a non-standard
unit of measure such as beans or marbles to determine the weight/mass of a
given object.
Science
(2.4) Scientific investigation and reasoning. The
student uses age-appropriate tools and models to investigate the natural world.
The student is expected to:
(A) collect, record, and compare information
using tools, including computers, hand lenses, rulers, primary balances,
plastic beakers, magnets, collecting nets, notebooks, and safety goggles;
timing devices, including clocks and stopwatches; weather instruments such as
thermometers, wind vanes, and rain gauges; and materials to support
observations of habitats of organisms such as terrariums and aquariums; and
(B) measure and compare organisms and objects
using non-standard units that approximate metric units.
