Understanding Water Activity Book includes a variety of activities that integrate
learning about water and academic subject areas.
Following is a summary of prepared graduate competencies addressed in the
development of and by materials included in this activity book.
MATHEMATICS
2nd grade
• Count within 1000. (CCSS: 2.NBT.2)
• Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten
numerals, number names, and expanded form. (CCSS:
2.NBT.3)
• Apply addition and subtraction concepts to financial
decision-making (PFL)
• Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental
strategies. (CCSS: 2.OA.2)
• Know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
(CCSS: 2.OA.2)
3rd grade
• Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in
the range 10–90 using strategies based on place value and
properties of operations. (CCSS: 3.NBT.3)
• Express whole numbers as fractions, and recognize
fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers. (CCSS:
3.NF.3c)
• Interpret products of whole numbers. (CCSS: 3.OA.1)
• Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word
problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and
measurement quantities. (CCSS: 3.OA.3)
• Recall from memory all products of two one-digit
numbers. (CCSS: 3.OA.7)
• Use models to add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve
one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that
are given in the same units. (CCSS: 3.MD.2)
4th grade
• Know relative sizes of measurement units within one
system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr,
min, sec. (CCSS: 4.MD.1)
• Use the four operations to solve word problems
involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes,
masses of objects, and money, including problems involving
simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require
expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of
a smaller unit. (CCSS: 4.MD.2)

how organisms depend on their habitat. (DOK 2-3)
• Analyze and interpret data about nonliving components
of a habitat (DOK 1-2)

the weather and changing seasons impacts the organisms

environment (DOK 1-3)
3rd grade
• Analyze and interpret observations about matter as it
freezes and melts, and boils and condenses (DOK 1-2)

components or resources through an ecosystem (DOK 2-3)
