Earth's Place in the Universe

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.

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

Design and build 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.

Obtain information to identify patterns of behavior in parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

Use classification supported by evidence to differentiate between living and non-living items.

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

Make observations to construct an evidence-based explanation that offspring are similar to, but not identical to, their parents.

Waves

With guidance and support, plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.

With guidance and support, make observations to construct an evidence-based explanation that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated.

With guidance and support, plan and conduct investigations to determine the effect of placing materials in the path of a beam of light.

Design and build a device that uses light or sound to communicate over a distance.
