ENERGY:
- I can explain how the speed of an object relates to the energy of that object.
- I can provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, electric currents.
- I can predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
- I can apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
WAVES:
- I can develop a model of waves to describe their patterns.
- I can develop a model to describe how the eye allows objects to be seen.
- I can generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
MOLECULES TO ORGANISMS:
- I can argue that plants and animals have internal and external structures that support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
- I can use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses.
EARTH’S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE:
- I can use evidence from rock formations and fossils to explain how landscapes change over time. I can make observations to show the effects of weathering by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.
- I can interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.
EARTH AND HUMAN ACTIVITY:
- I can combine information to describe that energy and fossils are derived from natural resources. I can generate multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of Earth processes on humans.
ENGINEERING DESIGN:
- I can design a simple problem reflecting a need or want that includes constraints on materials, time, and cost.
- I can generate and compare multiple solutions to a problem.
- I can plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled.
