Gaylord Special Exhibit Gallery Guide

Kindergarten

E/LA
Students will develop and apply effective communication skills through speaking and active listening

Science

• A situation that people want to change or create can be approached as a problem to be solved through engineering (K-PS2-2)
• Sunlight warms Earth’s surface (K-PS3-2)
• People depend on various technologies in their lives; human life would be very different without technology (K-ESS3-2)

Math
Use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to represent objects in the real world (K.GM.1.6)

Social Studies
Explain that a globe is a model of the Earth and that a map is a drawing of a place; construct basic maps (K.2.1)

First Grade

E/LA
Students will develop and apply effective communication skills through speaking and active listening

Science
Patterns of the motion of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky can be  observed, described, and predicted (1-ESS1-1)

Social Studies
Describe the contributions of people and groups who have shaped our history and ways we commemorate important places and events of the past (1.3.2)

Second Grade

E/LA
Students will develop and apply effective communication skills through speaking and active listening.

Science

• Maps show where things are located
• One can map the shapes and kinds of land and water in any area (2-ESS2-2)

Social Studies
Compare perspectives of people in the past to people in the present (2.3.2)

Third Grade

E/LA
Students will evaluate written, oral, visual, and digital texts in order to draw conclusions and analyze arguments.

Science
Scientific discoveries about the natural world can often lead to new and improved technologies, which are developed through the engineering  design process (3-PS2-4)

Math
Read, write, discuss, and represent whole numbers up to 100,000 (3.N.1.1)

Social Studies

• Understand and describe the relationship between historic events and chronology through the creation of basic timelines (3.3.1)
• Examine notable historic and present-day Oklahomans utilizing biographies and information texts such as Jim Thorpe, Sequoyah, Will Rogers, Wiley Post, Mickey Mantle, Shannon Lucid, Bill Pickett, Clara Luper, and Maria Tallchief (3.3.12)

Fourth Grade

E/LA
Students will comprehend, evaluate, and synthesize resources to acquire and refine knowledge

Science
Testing a solution involves investigating how well it performs under a range of likely conditions (4-ESS3-2)

Social Studies

• Use maps and other geographic representations (such as globes and graphs), tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective (4.2.1)
• Analyze how humans adapt to and modify their environments in order to survive and grow (4.4.1)

Fifth Grade

E/LA
Students will comprehend, evaluate, and synthesize resources to acquire and refine knowledge

Science
The gravitational force of Earth acting on an object near Earth’s surface pulls that object toward the planet’s center (5-PS2-1)

Sixth Grade and Seventh Grade

E/LA
Students will comprehend, evaluate, and synthesize resources to acquire and refine knowledge

Science

• Motion energy is properly called kinetic energy; it is proportional to the mass of the moving object and grows with the square of its speed (MS-PS3-1)
• There are systematic processes for evaluating solutions with respect to how well they meet the criteria and constraints of a problem (MS-LS2-5)
• The solar system consists of the sun and a collection of objects, including planets, their moons, and asteroids that are held in orbit around the sun by its gravitational pull on them (MS-ESS1-2)

Social Studies
Integrate visual information, draw conclusions, and make predictions from geographic data and analyze spatial distribution and patterns by interpreting that data as displayed on geographic tools (6.1.3; 7.1.5)

Eighth Grade

E/LA
Students will comprehend, evaluate, and synthesize resources to acquire and refine knowledge

Science

• The uses of technologies and any limitations on their use are driven by individual or societal needs, desires, and values; by the findings of scientific research; and by differences in such factors as climate, natural resources, and economic conditions (MS-PS1-3)
• Although one design may not perform the best across all tests, identifying the characteristics of the design that performed the best in each test can provide useful information for the redesign process—that is, some of the characteristics may be incorporated into the new design (MS-PS1-6)
• The iterative process of testing the most promising solutions and modifying what is proposed on the basis of the test results leads to greater refinement and ultimately to an optimal solution (MS-PS1-6)

Math
Express and compare approximations of very large and very small numbers using scientific notation (PA.N.1)

• The solar system consists of the sun and a collection of objects of varying sizes and conditions – including planets and their moons – that are held in orbit around the sun by its gravitational pull on them (HS-ESS1-2)
• Kepler’s laws describe common features of the motions of orbiting objects, including their elliptical paths around the sun. Orbits may change due to the gravitational effects from, or collisions with, other objects in the solar system (HS-ESS1-4)
