• Motion and Stability of Forces

    • Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

    • Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull.

  • Energy

    • Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s surface.

    • Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.*

  • From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Function

    • Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.

  • Earth Systems

    • Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.

    • Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.

  • Earth and Human Activity

    • Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live.

    • Ask questions to understand the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for and respond to severe weather.*
