This correlation lists the recommended Gizmos for this state's curriculum standards. Click any Gizmo title below for more information.

SC.4.1: : Physical Science

SC.4.1.1: : The faster an object moves the more energy it has.

SC.4.1.1.a: : Students can: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.

SC.4.1.2: : Energy can be moved from place to place.

SC.4.1.2.a: : Students can: Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat and electric currents.

SC.4.1.3: : When objects collide contact forces transfer so as to change objects’ motion.

SC.4.1.3.a: : Students can: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.

SC.4.1.4: : Energy can be produced, used or released by converting stored energy.

SC.4.1.4.a: : Students can: Apply scientific ideas to design, test and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.

SC.4.1.5: : Waves are regular patterns of motion.

SC.4.1.5.a: : Students can: Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.

SC.4.1.6: : An object can be seen when light reflected from its surface enters the eyes.

SC.4.1.6.a: : Students can: Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.

SC.4.1.7: : Patterns can encode, send, receive and decode information.

SC.4.1.7.a: : Students can: Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.

SC.4.2: : Life Science

SC.4.2.1: : Organisms have both internal and external structures that serve various functions.

SC.4.2.1.a: : Students can: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior and reproduction.

SC.4.2.1.b: : Students can: Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.

SC.4.3: : Earth and Space Science

SC.4.3.1: : Earth has changed over time.

SC.4.3.1.a: : Students can: Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.

SC.4.3.2: : Four major earth systems interact.

SC.4.3.2.a: : Students can: Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.

SC.4.3.3: : Earth’s physical features occur in patterns.

SC.4.3.3.a: : Students can: Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.

SC.4.3.4: : Energy and fuels that humans use are derived from natural sources and their use affects the environment in multiple ways.

SC.4.3.4.a: : Students can: Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.

SC.4.3.5: : A variety of hazards result from natural process; humans cannot eliminate natural hazards but can reduce their impacts’ effect.

SC.4.3.5.a: : Students can: Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.
