Physical Science

• Constructs an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object. PS3-1 

• Makes observations that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. PS3-2 

• Asks questions and predicts outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide. PS3-3 

• Applies scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. PS3-4 

• Develops a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen. PS4-2 

• Generates and compares multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information. PS4-3 

Earth & Space Science

• Identifies evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in landscape over time. ESS1-1 

• Observes and measures to provide evidence of effects of weathering or rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation. ESS2-1 

Engineering 

• Defines a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time,  or cost. ETS1-1 

• Generates and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the  problem. ETS1-2 

• Plans and carries out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype  that can be  improved. ETS1-3
