4.PS2: : Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

4.PS2.B: : Types of Interaction

4.PS2.B.2: : Predict how changes in either the amount of force applied to an object or the mass of the object affects the motion (speed and direction) of the object.

4.PS3: : Energy

4.PS3.A: : Definitions of Energy

4.PS3.A.1: : Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.

4.PS3.B: : Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer

4.PS3.B.2: : Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.

4.PS3.C: : Relationship Between Energy and Forces

4.PS3.C.1: : Use models to explain that simple machines change the amount of effort force and/or direction of force.

4.PS4: : Waves and Their Applications in technologies for Information Transfer

4.PS4.A: : Wave Properties

4.PS4.A.1: : Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude or wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.

4.LS1: : From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes

4.LS1.A: : Structure and Function

4.LS1.A.1: : Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and plant reproduction.

4.LS1.D: : Information Processing

4.LS1.D.1: : 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.

4.ESS1: : Earth's Place in the Universe

4.ESS1.C: : The History of Planet Earth

4.ESS1.C.1: : Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.

4.ESS2: : Earth's Systems

4.ESS2.A: : Earth Materials and Systems

4.ESS2.A.1: : Plan and conduct scientific investigations or simulations to provide evidence how natural processes (e.g., weathering and erosion) shape Earth's surfaces.

4.ESS2.B: : Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale Systems

4.ESS2.B.1: : Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.

4.ESS3: : Earth and Human Activity

4.ESS3.A: : Natural Resources

4.ESS3.A.1: : Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.

4.ETS1: : Engineering Design

4.ETS1.A: : Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems

4.ETS1.A.1: : Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.

4.ETS1.B: : Developing Possible Solutions

4.ETS1.B.1: : Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

4.ETS1.C: : Optimizing the Solution Process

4.ETS1.C.1: : Plan and carry 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.
