Physical SciencePS

  • 4

    Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information TransferPS4

    1. 1

      Plan and carry out an investigation to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate. (SEP: 3; DCI: PS4.A; CCC: Cause/Effect)1-PS4-1

    2. 2

      Construct an evidence-based account for how objects can be seen only when illuminated. (SEP: 6; DCI: PS4.B; CCC: Cause/Effect)1-PS4-2

    3. 3

      Plan and carry out an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light. (SEP: 3; DCI: PS4.B; CCC: Cause/Effect)1-PS4-3

    4. 4

      Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance. (SEP: 6; DCI: PS4.C, ETS1.B; CCC: Cause/Effect) Alignment may include K-2-ETS1-21-PS4-4

Life ScienceLS

  • 1

    From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes LS1

    1. 1

      Construct an explanation and 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. (SEP: 6; DCI: LS1.A, LSI.D, ETS1.A; CCC: Structure/Function) Alignment may include K-2-ETS1-11-LS1-1

    2. 2

      Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive. (SEP: 8; DCI: LS1.B; CCC: Patterns)1-LS1-2

  • 3

    Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of TraitsLS3

    1. 1

      Construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents. (SEP: 6; DCI: LS3.A, LS3.B; CCC: Patterns)1-LS3-1

Earth and Space ScienceESS

  • 1

    Earth’s Place in the UniverseESS1

    1. 1

Engineering, Technology, and Applications of ScienceETS

  • 1

    Engineering DesignETS1

    1. 1

      Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. Alignment may include K-PS2-2; K-ESS3-2; 1-LS1-1K-2-ETS1-1

    2. 2

      Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. Alignment may include K-ESS3-3; 1-PS4-4; 2-LS2-2K-2-ETS1-2

    3. 3

      Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs. Alignment may include 2-PS1-2; 2-ESS2-1K-2-ETS1-3
