I can use diagrams and other models to show that light waves are reflected or transmitted through various materials

Identify and describe that vibrations produce sounds, and that sound waves are transmitted through mediums

Use models to explain the repeating patterns of a wave, including amplitude, frequency and wavelength

Use models to show that light waves are reflected or transmitted through various materials

Explain lunar phases and eclipses using a model of the Earth-Sun-Moon system

Use evidence to explain gravity as an attractive force between two objects, noticeable only with objects of very large mass

Describe the relative organization of the universe and Earth’s ‘place’ in the universe

Use evidence to explain that all organisms are made of cells

Model the parts of the cell and describe how they function 

Describe how the body systems - circulatory, digestive, respiratory, excretory, muscular/skeletal - interact to carry out essential life functions

Make a claim that Earth’s plates have drifted and collided, using evidence from maps showing fossil and rock distribution, continent shapes, and seafloor structures

Use evidence from fossil records to describe organisms and their environment

Make a claim about the evolutionary relationship between fossils organisms and modern organisms, using evidence of anatomical structures
