Introduction
This WebQuest was created for primary students, specifically kindergartners.
This WebQuest will introduce students to the following standards.
SKCS3
a. Use ordinary hand tools and instruments to construct, measure (for example:
weather data, nonstandard units for length/height), and look at objects (for
example: magnifiers to look at soils).
SKCS5
a. Describe and compare things in terms of number, shape,
texture, size, weight, color, and motion.
b. Begin to draw pictures that portray features of the thing
being described.
SKCS6
a. In doing science, it is often helpful to work with a team
and to share findings with others.
b. Tools such as rulers, magnifiers, and measuring cups often
give more information about things than can be obtained by just observing
things without help.
MCCK.MD.3
Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of
objects in each category and sort the categories by
count.
The students will be assessed on the following standards:
SKL2

size, appearance, etc.)
SKE1
c. Recognize that the Sun supplies heat and light to
Earth.
SKE2
b. Use senses to observe soils by physical
attributes such as smell, texture, color,
particle/grain size.
c. Recognize earth
materials— soil, rocks, water, air, etc.
ELAKW2 The student begins to write in a variety of genres, including narrative,
informational, persuasive, and response to literature.
The student produces informational writing that:

b. Uses
drawings, letters, and phonetically spelled words to share information.
c Begins to use organizational structures (steps).
