Energy

  • 4-PS3-1.

    Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.4-PS3-1

  • 4-PS3-2.

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

  • 4-PS3-3.

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

  • 4-PS3-4.

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

Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

  • 4-PS4-1.

    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

  • 4-PS4-2.

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

  • 4-PS4-3.

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

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

  • 4-LS1-1.

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

  • 4-LS1-2.

    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

Earth's Place in the Universe

  • 4-ESS1-1.

    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

Earth's Systems

  • 4-ESS2-1.

    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

  • 4-ESS2-2.

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

Earth and Human Activity

  • 4-ESS3-1.

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

  • 4-ESS3-2.

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