Science Is Magic

Approaching science can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! This program is a sampling of exciting scientific demonstrations that will showcase just how fun science can be. Your students will get an introduction to five branches of science and the *magic* they offer.

Ohio’s Learning Standards 

Kindergarten

Physical Science – Properties of Everyday Objects and Materials 

• Objects and materials can be sorted and described by their properties. 

Life Science – Physical and Behavioral Traits of Living Things 

• Living things have specific characteristics and traits.  

Grade 1

Physical Science – Motion and Materials 

• Properties of objects and materials can change.
• Objects can be moved in a variety of ways, such as straight, zigzag, circular, and back and forth.  

Life Science – Basic Needs of Living Things 

• Living things have basic needs, which are met by obtaining materials from the physical environment.  

Grade 2

Physical Science – Changes in Motion 

• Forces change the motion of an object. 

Grade 3

Earth and Space Science – Earth's Resources 

• Earth’s nonliving resources have specific properties.
• Earth’s resources can be used for energy.  

Physical Science – Matter and Forms of Energy 

• All objects and substances in the natural world are composed of matter.   
• Matter exists in different states, each of which has different properties.   
• Heat, electrical energy, light, sound, and magnetic energy are forms of energy.   

Life Science – Behavior, Growth, and Changes 

• Individuals of the same kind of organism differ in their inherited traits. These differences give some individuals an advantage in surviving and/or reproducing.  

Grade 4

Physical Science – Electricity, Heat, and Matter 

• Energy can be transferred from one location to another or can be transformed from one form to another.  

Life Science – Earth's Living History 

• Changes in an organism’s environment are sometimes beneficial to its survival and sometimes harmful.  

Grade 5

Life Science – Interactions Within Ecosystems 

• All of the processes that take place within organisms require energy  

Grade 6

Earth and Space Science – Rocks, Minerals, and Soil 

• Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks have unique characteristics that can be used for identification and/or classification.
• Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks form in different ways.  

Grade 7

Physical Science – Conservation of Mass and Energy 

• Energy can be transferred through a variety of ways.  

Grade 8

Life Science – Species and Reproduction 

• The characteristics of an organism are a result of inherited traits received from parent(s).  

Earth and Space Science – Physical Earth 

• A combination of constructive and destructive geologic processes formed Earth’s surface.  

Physical Science – Forces and Motion 

• Objects can experience a force due to an external field such as magnetic, electrostatic, or gravitational fields.
