Identify scientists and engineers (e.g., Isaac Newton, Mae Jemison, Ynes Mexia) and explore what they do.
This standard clarifies expectations for Scientists & engineers so lesson goals, checks for understanding, and feedback stay aligned.
With K.4B, Grade K students practice Scientists & engineers in multiple representations and contexts.
Standard K.4B describes the essential skills and understandings for Scientists & engineers in Grade K. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to K.4B.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to K.4B.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Scientists & engineers, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
