Science- Fourth 9 weeks 

Students will be doing the following 8 things while studying Earth Space Science (Environmental) and Engineering Design:

1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering); 

2. Developing and using models; 

3. Planning and carrying out investigations; 

4. Analyzing and interpreting data;

 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking; 

6. Constructing explanations for science and designing solutions for engineering;

 7. Engaging in argument from evidence; and

8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information. view

Earth Space Science- (Environmental)

5-ESS3-1. Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment. 

Engineering Design:

3-5.E.1 Identify a simple problem with the design of an object that reflects a need or a want. Include criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost. 

3-5.E.2 Construct and compare multiple plausible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. 

3-5.E.3 Construct and perform fair investigations in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved. 

Earth Space Science: (Environmental)

1. I can investigate ways individual communities within the United States protect the Earth’s resources and environment.

2. I can develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.
