Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.4-PS3-2

Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.4-PS3-3

Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. 4-PS3-4

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

Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.4-PS4-2

Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.4-PS4-3

Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.4-LS1-1

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

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

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

Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.4-ESS2-2

Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.4-ESS3-1

Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth hazards on humans. 4-ESS3-2

Define a simple design problem, reflecting a need or a want, that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost. 4-ETS1-1

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.4-ETS1-2

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.4-ETS1-3
