Physical Sciences

  • 1.

    Plan and carry out an investigation to determine that matter has mass, takes up space, and is recognized by its observable properties; use the collected evidence to develop and support an explanation.2.P1U1.1

  • 2.

    Plan and carry out investigations to gather evidence to support an explanation on how heating or cooling can cause a phase change in matter.2.P1U1.2

  • 3.

    Obtain, evaluate and communicate information about ways heat energy can cause change in objects or materials.2.P4U1.3

Earth and Space Sciences

  • 4.

    Observe and investigate how wind and water change the shape of the land resulting in a variety of landforms.2.E1U1.4

  • 5.

    Develop and use models to represent that water can exist in different states and is found in oceans, glaciers, lakes, rivers, ponds, and the atmosphere.2.E1U1.5

  • 6.

    Analyze patterns in weather conditions of various regions of the world and design, test, and refine solutions to protect humans from severe weather conditions.2.E1U2.6

  • 7.

    Construct an argument from evidence regarding positive and negative changes in water and land systems that impact humans and the environment.2.E1U3.7

  • 8.

    Observe and explain the Sun's position at different times during a twenty-four-hour period and changes in the apparent shape of the Moon from one night to another.2.E2U1.8

Life Sciences

  • 10.

    Develop a model representing how life on Earth depends on energy from the Sun and energy from other organisms.2.L2U1.10
