This product is a fully editable Standard Breakdown for the Next Generation Science Standard K-PS3-1. This is a Kindergarten standard about Weather and Climate and the sun's affect on the Earth's surface.
The standard breakdown includes a rubric for the standard, two formative assessment ideas (not actual assessments, which will be included in a separate listing), a summative assessment idea & description (which can be used as an actual assessment), a comprehensive list of pieces of knowledge that students need in order to master the standard, resources ideas, etc.
This is a helpful document to use when planning out curriculum. Breaking down a standard before teaching helps you understand what students need to know, and is the first step in designing a sequence of lessons to ensure that students are prepared for the summative assessment for the standard. This is a helpful step when following the backward design model.
