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

Use materials to design 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.

Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.

Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.

Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated.

Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.

Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.

Engineering Design

Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

Generate questions and investigate diverse individuals and groups who have shaped a significant historical change.

With guidance and support, explain how individuals who live, learn, and work together make important decisions, and the effect that these decisions have on a variety of diverse communities.

Identify reasons for rules and explain how rules establish responsibilities and roles, and their effect on one's own and other groups and communities.

Create a chronological sequence of multiple events based on current learning.

With guidance and support, investigate how our perspectives of historical events have changed over time.

Create questions that are relevant to self as they relate to the content of the Social Science Standards.

With guidance and support, students will use varied teacher-selected resources to learn procedures to locate evidence that assists with finding answers to their questions. Introduce the importance of informational resources that are reliable and distinguish fact from opinion.

With guidance and support, gather relevant information from multiple sources to analyze information.

With guidance and support, evaluate a source by distinguishing between fact and opinion.

With guidance and support, students will share their findings on the asked and answered questions with peers.

With guidance and support, reflect on one's inquiry process and findings.

Using various viewpoints, students will engage in reflective conversations to draw conclusions on inquiry findings and create action steps.

Program Development:

Variables: Model the way programs store and manipulate data by using numbers or other symbols to represent information

Algorithms and programming

Algorithms: Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (sets of step by step instructions) to complete tasks.

Control: Develop programs and sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem

Modularity: Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions

Develop plans that describe a program's sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes.

Give attribution when using the ideas and creations of others while developing programs

Debug (identify and fix) errors in an algorithm or program that includes sequences and simple loops

Using correct terminology, describe steps taken and choices made during the iterative process of program development

Computing Systems

Devices: Select and operate appropriate software to perform a variety of tasks and recognie that users have different needs and preferences for the technology they use

Hardware and Software: Use appropriate terminology in identifying and describing the function of common physical components of computing systems (hardware)

Troubleshooting: Describe basic hardware and software problems using accurate terminology

Data and Analysis

Storage: Store, copy, search, retrieve, modify and delete information using a computing device and define the information stored as data

Collection, Visualization and Transformation: Collect and present the same data in various visual formats

Inference and Models: Identify and describe patterns in data visualizations, such as charts or graphs, to make predictions
