Energy

  • 4-PS3-1.

    Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.4-PS3-1

  • 4-PS3-2.

    Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.4-PS3-2

  • 4-PS3-3.

    Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.4-PS3-3

  • 4-PS3-4.

    Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.4-PS3-4

Waves and their Applications In Technologies For Information Transfer

  • 4-PS4-1.

    Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and to show that waves can cause objects to move.4-PS4-1

  • 4-PS4-2.

    Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.4-PS4-2

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

  • 4-LS1-1.

    Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.4-LS1-1

  • 4-LS1-2.

    Construct an explanation to describe how animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brains, and respond to the information in different ways.4-LS1-2

Earth's Systems

  • 4-ESS2-1.

    Plan and conduct investigations on the effects of water, ice, wind, and vegetation on the relative rate of weathering and erosion.4-ESS2-1

  • 4-ESS2-2.

    Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features.4-ESS2-2

  • 4-ESS2-3.

    Ask questions that can be investigated and predict reasonable outcomes about how living things affect the physical characteristics of their environment.4-ESS2-3

Earth and Human Activity

  • 4-ESS3-1.

    Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from renewable and non-renewable resources and how their uses affect the environment.4-ESS3-1

  • 4-ESS3-2.

    Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.4-ESS3-2

Earth's Place in the Universe

  • 4-ESS1-1.

    Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in landforms over time.4-ESS1-1
