Science

Nature of Science

SC.4.N.1.1-Raise questions about the natural world, use appropriate reference materials that support understanding to obtain information (identifying the source), conduct both individual and team investigations through free exploration and systematic investigations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations.
SC.4.N.1.2 Compare the observations made by different groups using multiple tools and seek reasons to explain the differences across groups.
SC.4.N.1.3: Explain that science does not always follow a rigidly defined method (“the scientific method”) but that science does involve the use of observations and empirical evidence.
SC.4.N.1.4 Attempt reasonable answers to scientific questions and cite evidence in support. SC.4.N.1.5 Compare the methods and results of investigations done by other classmates
SC.4.N.1.6-Keep records that describe observations made, carefully distinguishing actual observations from ideas and inferences about the observations.
SC.4.N.1.7- Recognize and explain that scientists base their explanations on evidence.
SC.4.N.1.8- Recognize that science involves creativity in designing experiments .
SC.4.N.2.1-Explain that science focuses solely on the natural world
SC.4.N.3.1-Explain that models can be three dimensional, two dimensional, an explanation in your mind, or a computer model

Earth's Place in Space

SC.4.E.5.1 Observe that the patterns of stars in the sky stay the same although they appear to shift across the sky nightly, and different stars can be seen in different seasons.
SC.4.E.5.2 Describe the changes in the observable shape of the moon over the course of about a month.
SC.4.E.5.3 Recognize that Earth revolves around the Sun in a year and rotates on its axis in a 24-hour day.
SC.4.E.5.4 Relate that the rotation of Earth (day and night) and apparent movements of the Sun, Moon, and stars are connected.
SC.4.P.6.5 Investigate how technology and tools help to extend the ability of humans to observe very small things and very large things.

Properties of Matter / Changes in Matter

SC.5.P.8.1: Compare and contrast the basic properties of solids, liquids, and gases, such as mass, volume, color, texture, and temperature

SC.4.P.8.1: Compare objects and materials based on their physical properties including: mass, shape, volume, color, hardness, texture, odor, taste, attraction to magnets

SC.4.P.8.2: Identify properties and common uses of water in each of its states.

SC.4.P.8.3: Explore the Law of Conservation of Mass by demonstrating that the mass of a whole object is always the same as the sum of masses of its parts.

SC.4.P.8.4: Investigate and describe that magnets can attract magnetic materials and attract and repel other magnets.

SC.4.P.9.1: Identify some familiar changes in materials that result in other materials with different characteristics such as decaying animal or plant matter, burning, rusting and cooking. (chemical changes)
