Gap document: Kindergarten

Grade K Science

This supplemental document bridges the gap between what kindergarten students learn within the new Amplify Science curriculum and the Performance Expectations in the NYC PK–8 Science Scope and Sequence 2018 for kindergarten. These lessons are designed to address the Performance Expectation: K-PS1-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to test the claim that different kinds of matter exist as either solid or liquid, depending on temperature (Cause and Effect/Energy and Matter). This is the only Performance Expectation that is not addressed in the Amplify Science curriculum for kindergarten.
