Smart Board Learning provides a range of customizable tools tailored for various grades, subjects, and topics, each aligning with your state’s learning standards. Explore the links below to preview a few specific tools.
1st grade science preview
Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer
1-PS4-1 Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
1-PS4-3 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.
Earth’s Place in the Universe
1-ESS1-1 Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
2nd grade science preview
Matter and its Interactions
2-PS1-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
2-LS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.
2-LS2-2 Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
3rd grade science preview
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
3-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
3-LS1-1 Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
3-LS3-1 Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.
4th grade science preview
Energy
4-PS3-2 Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
Earth’s Place in the Universe
4-ESS1-1 Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
Earth’s Systems
4-ESS2-1 Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.
5th grade science preview
Matter and Its Interactions
5-PS1-1 Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
5-PS2-1 Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down.
Energy
5-PS3-1 Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.
