The Science of Ice Skating | SciShow Kids

Teachers and parents: scroll down to check out the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for this episode! In this episode, Jessi and her friends at The Fort learn about the physics behind all the slippery fun you can have on the ice. Hosted by: Jessi Knudsen Castañeda (she/her/they/them) First Grade Next Generation Science Standards Disciplinary Core Idea: LS1.A: Structure and Function - All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air (1-LS1-1). Performance Expectation: 1-LS1-1. Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs. Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards Disciplinary Core Idea: LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans - There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water. (2-LS4-1) Performance Expectation: 2-LS4-1 Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter - Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties. (2-PS1-1). PS1.B: Chemical Reactions - Heating or cooling a substance may cause changes that can be observed. Sometimes these changes are reversible, and sometimes they are not (2-PS1-4). Performance Expectations: 2-PS1-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 2-PS1-4. Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot. Third Grade Next Generation Science Standards Disciplinary Core Idea: PS2.A: Forces and Motion - Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and a direction. Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object’s speed or direction of motion (3-PS2-1). Performance Expectation: 3-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object ---- Love SciShow Kids and want to help support it?
