PS: : Physical Science

PS3: : Energy

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

4-PS3-2: : Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.

4-PS3-3: : Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.

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

PS4: : Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

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

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

4-PS4-3: : Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.

LS: : Life Sciences

LS1: : From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

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

4-LS1-2: : 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.

ESS: : Earth and Space Sciences

ESS1: : Earth’s Place in the Universe

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

ESS2: : Earth’s Systems

4-ESS2-1: : Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.

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

ESS3: : Earth and Human Activity

4-ESS3-1: : Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.

ETS: : Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science

ETS1: : Engineering Design

3-5-ETS1-2: : 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.
