Physical Science

  • 4-PS-1.

    Energy4-PS-1

    1. 1.

      Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.4-PS-1.1

    2. 2.

      Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred by heat, sound, light, and electric currents.4-PS-1.2

    3. 3.

      Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.4-PS-1.3

    4. 4.

      Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.4-PS-1.4

  • 4-PS-2.

    Waves4-PS-2

    1. 1.

      Develop a model of a simple mechanical wave to describe patterns of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.4-PS-2.1

    2. 2.

      Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.4-PS-2.2

    3. 3.

      Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.4-PS-2.3

Life Science

  • 4-LS-1.

    From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes4-LS-1

    1. 1.

      Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.4-LS-1.1

    2. 2.

      Use a model to describe how animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.4-LS-1.2

Earth and Space Science

  • 4-ESS-1.

    Earth's Place in the Universe4-ESS-1

    1. 1.

      Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers for changes in a landscape over time to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.4-ESS-1.1

  • 4-ESS-2.

    Earth's Systems4-ESS-2

    1. 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-ESS-2.1

    2. 2.

      Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features.4-ESS-2.2

  • 4-ESS-3.

    Earth and Human Activity4-ESS-3

    1. 1.

      Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.4-ESS-3.1

    2. 2.

      Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.4-ESS-3.2
