PS.S.4.1: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
PS.S.4.2: Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
Circuit Builder
Conduction and Convection
Energy Conversions
Heat Absorption
PS.S.4.3: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
PS.S.4.4: Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
PS.S.4.5: Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
PS.S.4.6: Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
LS.S.4.7: Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.
