Earth's Systems

Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe variations in patterns throughout the year.

With guidance and support, use evidence to construct an explanation of how plants and animals interact with their environment to meet their needs.

Weather and Climate

Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals and the places they live.

Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, local weather.

Communicate ideas that would enable humans to interact in a beneficial way with the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

Use observations to describe how plants and animals are alike and different in terms of how they live and grow.

Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

With guidance and support, 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.

With guidance and support, analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the motion of an object with a push or a pull.

Energy

Make observations to determine the effect of the Sun's energy on the Earth's surface.

Design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of the Sun's energy on a material.
