Weather and Climate
(20 titles)
K-PS3-1 Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s surface. K-PS3-2 Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area. K-ESS2-1 Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time. K-ESS3-2 Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather. Titles Aligned to Standards:
Kindergarten libraries are characterized by the overarching ideas that weather, sunlight, and the needs of living things affect us daily—ideas that apply to the physical, life, Earth and space sciences, as well as engineering. This collection introduces the crosscutting concepts of patterns, cause and effect, system and system models, the interdependence of science, engineering, and technology, and the influence of engineering, technology, and science on society and the natural world.
Complete set of 80 titles comes organized and labeled in book bins, arranged by topic. *Includes the following topics: Forces and Interactions: Pushes and Pulls, Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems, Weather and Climate, and Engineering Design.
Our NGSS libraries contain leveled texts that allow every student to find a title that is grade-appropriate with a focus on direct NGSS alignment. These balanced libraries provide Below, On, and Above leveled texts that align to the NGSS topics for student accessibility.

K-2-ETS1-1 Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. K-2-ETS1-2 Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. K-2-ETS1-3 Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs. Titles Aligned to Standards:
K-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object. K-PS2-2 Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull. Titles Aligned to Standards:

K-LS1-1 Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. K-ESS2-2 Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. K-ESS3-1 Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live. K-ESS3-3 Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment. Titles Aligned to Standards:
