Make observations to construct an evidencebased account that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated.1-PS4-2

Plan and conduct investigations to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.1-PS4-3

Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.1-PS4-4

Use materials to 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.1-LS1-1

Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.1-LS1-2

Make observations to construct an evidencebased account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents. 1-LS3-1

Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. 1-ESS1-1

Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.1-ESS1-2

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.1-ETS1-1

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.1-ETS1-2

Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs. 1-ETS1-3
