FOSS AND CALIFORNIA STANDARDS
The Wood and Paper Module supports the following Physical and
Earth Sciences Content Standards for kindergarten.*
PHYSICAL SCIENCES
PS1 Properties of materials can be observed, measured, and
predicted.
As a basis for understanding this concept, students know
PS1a. objects can be described in terms of the materials they
are made of (e.g., clay, cloth, paper) and their physical
properties (e.g., color, size, shape, weight, texture,
flexibility, attraction to magnets, floating, sinking).
PS1b. water can be a liquid or a solid and can be made to
change back and forth from one form to the other.
PS1c. water left in an open container evaporates (goes into the
air) but water in a closed container does not.
EARTH SCIENCES
ES3 Earth is composed of land, air, and water.
As a basis for understanding this concept, students know
ES3c. how to identify resources from Earth that are used in
everyday life and understand that many resources can
be conserved.
