This resource provides flexible alternative or additional learning opportunities for students to differentiate between elements and compounds on the most basic level, Science TEKS (6)(5)(C).

This resource provides the documents, videos, and materials to participants of the Science Academies for Grade K–4, Part 2 training. This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered. 

This resource provides trainers of Science Academies K-4, Part 2 with participant guides, presentation files, documents, and videos associated with the training.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will differentiate between elements and compounds.

Given descriptions, illustrations, or scenarios, students will compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy.

Given descriptions, illustrations, or scenarios, students will identify energy transformations, such as how energy in a flashlight battery changes from chemical energy to electric energy to light energy.

Given diagrams, data, or scenarios, students will calculate average speed using distance and time measurements.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids using physical properties such as luster, conductivity, or malleability.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will investigate how evidence of chemical reactions indicates that new substances with different properties are formed.

Given diagrams or scenarios, students will measure and graph changes in motion.

Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will demonstrate and calculate how unbalanced forces change the speed or direction of an objects motion.

Given diagrams, scenarios, descriptions, and illustrations, students will identify the historical development and evidence that supports plate tectonic theory and relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features.

The Interactive Science Glossary is a resource that supports students who are learning the language of science. This resource includes written and spoken definitions and sentences in both Spanish and English. Students can even create, download, and print their own vocabulary cards. 

This resource provides sample activities for teachers to use in helping students to identify and investigate the effects of increasing and decreasing amounts of light, heat, and sound energy on an object.

In this 3rd through 5th grade video, students use their science knowledge and apply it using physical activity! Learning about the stages of matter, solid, liquid and gas, students perform an exercise for each as the teacher calls out an object such as soup or fog.
