Science concepts for this year!
Earth Science
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to identify surface features on the Earth caused by constructive and/or destructive processes
Construct an argument supported by scientific evidence to identify surface features
Develop simple interactive models to collect data that illustrate how changes in surface features are/were caused by constructive and/or destructive processes
Ask questions to obtain information on how technology is used to limit and/or predict the impact of constructive and destructive processes.
Physical Science
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the differences between a physical change and a chemical change.
Plan and carry out investigations of physical changes by manipulating, separating and mixing dry and liquid materials.
Construct an argument based on observations to support a claim that the physical changes in the state of water are due to temperature changes, which cause small particles that cannot be seen to move differently.
Plan and carry out an investigation to determine if a chemical change occurred based on observable evidence
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate electricity.
Obtain and combine information from multiple sources to explain the difference between naturally occurring electricity (static) and human-harnessed electricity.
Design a complete, simple electric circuit, and explain all necessary components.
Plan and carry out investigations on common materials to determine if they are insulators or conductors of electricity.
