Earth & Space Science

• Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features. ESS2-2 

• Describes that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment. ESS3-1 

• Generates and compares multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans. ESS3-2 

Physical Science

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

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

Engineering Standards (All Year) 

• Defines a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost. 3-5-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. 3-5-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. 3-5-ETS1-3
