Energy4-PS3
- 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 Transfer4-PS4
- 4-PS4-1.
Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and 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
- 4-PS4-3.
Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.4-PS4-3
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes4-LS1
- 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.
Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.4-LS1-2
Earth's Place in the Universe4-ESS1
- 4-ESS1-1.
Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.4-ESS1-1
Earth's Systems4-ESS2
- 4-ESS2-1.
Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.4-ESS2-1
- 4-ESS2-2.
Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features.4-ESS2-2
Earth and Human Activity4-ESS3
- 4-ESS3-1.
Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and 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
Engineering Design3-5-ETS1
- 3-5-ETS1-1.
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.3-5-ETS1-1
- 3-5-ETS1-2.
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.3-5-ETS1-2
- 3-5-ETS1-3.
Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.3-5-ETS1-3
