MS-ETS1-3
Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
October 1, 2018MS-ETS1-4
Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
October 1, 2018MS-LS1-1
Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells.
October 1, 20184-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.
October 1, 20185-LS1-1
Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water.
October 1, 20184-PS3-1
Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
October 1, 20185-LS2-1
Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.
October 1, 20184-PS3-2
Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
October 1, 20185-PS1-1
Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
October 1, 20184-PS3-3
Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
October 1, 20185-PS1-2
Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
October 1, 20184-PS3-4
Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
