3-5-ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
October 1, 20184-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.
October 1, 20183-5-ETS1-2

October 1, 20183-LS2-1
Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.
October 1, 20183-LS3-1

October 1, 20183-LS4-1
