PS Physical Sciences

  • 4-PS3-1Evidence Explanation Relating Speed Object Energy Object SpeedUse evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object
  • 4-PS3-2Magnets, Electricity, and CircuitsMake observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents
  • 4-PS3-3Questions Outcomes About Changes Energy Occur When ObjectsAsk questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide
  • 4-PS3-4Energy Forms, Transfer, and TransformationApply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another
  • 4-PS4-1Light, Sound, and Wave BehaviorDevelop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and to show that waves can cause objects to move
  • 4-PS4-2Light Reflecting Objects Entering Eye Allows Objects SeenDevelop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen

LS Life Sciences

  • 4-LS1-1Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesConstruct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction
  • 4-LS1-2Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesConstruct an explanation to describe how animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brains, and respond to the information in different ways

ESS Earth and Space Sciences

  • 4-ESS1-1Earth Materials, Rocks, Fossils, and LandformsIdentify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in landforms over time
  • 4-ESS2-1Earth Materials, Rocks, Fossils, and LandformsPlan and conduct investigations on the effects of water, ice, wind, and vegetation on the relative rate of weathering and erosion
  • 4-ESS2-2Data Analysis, Patterns, and Model LimitsAnalyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features
  • 4-ESS2-3Questions Investigated Reasonable Outcomes About Living Things AffectAsk questions that can be investigated and predict reasonable outcomes about how living things affect the physical characteristics of their environment
  • 4-ESS3-1Natural Resources and Human ImpactsObtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from renewable and non-renewable resources and how their uses affect the environment
  • 4-ESS3-2Natural Resources and Human ImpactsGenerate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans
