Concept: Plants are living things that have basic needs.
Three PlantsMy friends and I wanted to find out what plants need
to live and grow. We gave one plant soil, air, and water,
but it did not get sunlight. We gave another plant soil, air,
and sunlight, but we didn’t water it. We gave the third
plant soil, air, water, and sunlight. Guess what happened?
The plant without sunlight got droopy and yellow. The
plant without water dried up and turned brown. The plant
that got everything stayed green and healthy!

Look at the picture and read the story.
One hot and sunny afternoon, Ricky and his dad
went outside to water the flowers. Ricky tried to water all
the plants at the same time. But the hose was only long
enough to reach one flowerpot. It is such a hot day, and
the plants need water or they will dry up. Help Ricky and
his dad water the plants by making something that will
water all four plants at once.

Ying and her parents went on a big adventure in the city
. Taxis drove . Horns honked
. Ying walked on the sidewalk.
She and her parents rode an elevator to an observation
deck. They saw a famous actor from the movie Mighty Ducks. Later, Ying
walked in a museum. She saw an ancient book
called Tonda the Caveman. At one point, Ying and her parents got lost, but they
asked someone for directions. Ying and her family also
went to a restaurant. They tried foods that they had
never eaten before. In the evening, Ying’s family watched a musical play
about a creature whose home about a creature whose home about a creature whose home gets polluted. It was
called The Lorax. The performers sang The Lorax. The performers sang The Lorax. The performers sang and danced and danced and danced and danced

Getting Started
Build Content KnowledgeIf you wish to provide students with background knowledge about how inclined planes work as simple machines, reproduce and distribute pages 58 and 59. Then have students read and discuss the science concept and the visual literacy graphics on those pages.
Introduce the ChallengeReproduce and distribute the STEM Challenge on page 60. Then have students read the challenge and the testable goal. Discuss the materials with the students and decide on a plan for gathering the materials.
Next, have students research components of coin sorters that make them work. Have them use the STEM Planner on page 8 to think about how science, technology, engineering, and math are used to create a coin sorter. Finally, have students independently brainstorm and draw their ideas on page 60.
Completing the Challenge
Assign students to small groups.
Optional: Model the Design ProcessYou may wish to reproduce and distribute page 62 to students. This resource is intended to help students think about how to approach each step in the design process.
Design Process WorksheetsReproduce and distribute the STEM design process worksheets to students. Provide support when needed to help students describe and evaluate their plans.
After the ChallengeHave students share their design processes, compare their coin sorters, and brainstorm ideas for improvements.
Think about the materials available to you. How can you use the materials to create a coin sorter?
1
Use the materials you have to create a coin sorter. Follow your design as closely as possible.
2
Use your coin sorter. Does it sort 4 different types of coins into separate sections? Can you organize 30 coins accurately using the sorter?

Coin SorterScience Concept
Inclined Planes—Beyond RampsMost people think of an inclined plane when they want to move a
heavy object uphill. If you’ve ever seen someone moving in or out of a home,
you’ve probably seen boxes and furniture sliding up a ramp into the moving
van or over some stairs. Ramps also make it easier for a wheelchair or a
shopping cart to move up a curb. A ramp lets you trade weight for distance.
Inclined planes also make things go downhill easier or in an organized
way. When you use a ramp to move something up, the ramp lessens the
effort to overcome gravity. However, when something goes down a ramp,
gravity increases its ease of movement. Children zoom down playground
slides and water slides. In winter, you can sled or ski down a snowy hill.
The sport of luge involves lying down on a sled and sliding down an ice
track. Inclined planes and gravity provide recreation and fun.
You’ll also find inclined planes in all kinds of places, making life just a
little more convenient. In the dairy section of some grocery stores, the milk
refrigerator shelves are slanted downward. The milk cartons are in columns
on these slanted shelves. After someone takes the carton in front, another
carton slides down from behind to take its place. At the bowling alley, the
gutter along the side of the lane is slanted so that the bowling ball will keep
rolling until it reaches the end of the lane and can be returned. A decorative
fountain may have channels directing water to make patterns. A funnel has
sloping sides that channel liquid into a bottle with a narrow neck. A faucet is
an inclined plane that directs water into the sink.
Factories use inclined planes to sort items or fill containers. The post
office does as well. Boxes are sent down one ramp, letters down another,
and thicker or larger f lat packages down a third ramp. Using inclined planes
saves not only our backs but our time as well!

A recycling plant uses ramps to sort and group different materials. Screens of different sizes sort paper and cardboard. Magnets pull out certain metals. Air blows lightweight plastic materials onto one ramp while heavier glass bottles fall onto another. Optical machines sort different types of plastic. All sorted materials are bundled, compacted, or crushed and sent to the appropriate place to make new objects.

Talk About…
Show children the picture of Picasso’s Three Musicians. Ask them to find the three musicians and their instruments. Ask: • What do you notice about the people? • Are they realistic or stylized? • What kinds of shapes do you see?
Pablo Picasso Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881 and died in France in 1973. Picasso was always shocking people with his artwork. His painting style changed more over the period of his life than that of any other great artist. He helped invent a kind of art called Cubism. A lot of his paintings look like he has broken the object he was painting into blocks or cubes. He was also one of the first artists to use a collage technique by adding different objects to his paintings.

Give children the project materials. Then, using the scraps of paper, have children cut out shapes to make their musicians. They should give their musicians a hat like the musicians in the painting and use patterned paper for their clothes. Encourage children to use mostly squares and rectangles.
Next, have children arrange the shapes to create their musicians on the green paper. After they are happy with their layouts, have them glue the shapes in place.

Then have children choose the instrument their musician will play. Using the gold foil paper, have them cut out the instrument and glue it in place.
Tell children that they can add details with a permanent black marker.
Mount the pictures on black paper and display them for children to enjoy.

Value
Step by Step
Give each child one piece of white paper and8 different crayons.Show children how to fold the construction paperinto 16 squares. Have children begin by picking a crayon and using it to color one of the boxes using a firm, solid stroke. Then have children use that same color to lightly shade in another box. The result should be a pale version of the original color.Children continue coloring with all 8 crayons, one dark box and one pale box. Give children the colored construction paper squares and the glue. Then show children how to create a frame for their design by gluing it to a colored construction paper square.
