Four Seasons
By Natalie Wey
TEKS Addressed
§112.2. Science, Kindergarten
(2) As students learn science skills, they identify components of the natural
world including rocks, soil, and water. Students observe the seasons and
growth as examples of change. In addition, Kindergarten science includes
the identification of organisms and objects and their parts. Students learn
how to group living organisms and nonliving objects and explore the basic
needs of living organisms.
(4) A system is a collection of cycles, structures, and processes that
interact. Students should understand a whole in terms of its components
and how these components relate to each other and to the whole. All
systems have basic properties that can be described in terms of space, time,
energy, and matter. Change and constancy occur in systems and can be
observed and measured as patterns. These patterns help to predict what will
happen next and can change over time.
