Earth Science
Star Patterns, Moon Cycles, Seasons
-
Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
-
Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.
Physical Science
Light and Sound
-
Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
-
Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated.
-
Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.
-
Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
Life Science
-
Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.
-
Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.
-
Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.
