Science4Earth and Space Science4.2.1.2--Students will be able to read and interpret multiple sources to obtain information, evaluate the merit and validity of claims and design solutions, and communicate information, ideas, and evidence in a variety of formats. Read and comprehend grade appropriate complex texts and/or other reliable media to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.
Science5Physical Science5.3.1.1--Students will be able to develop, revise, and use models to represent the students’ understanding of phenomena or systems as they develop questions, predictions and/or explanations, and communicate ideas to others. Develop and refine a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
Science5Physical Science5.2.2.1--Students will be able to use mathematics to represent physical variables and their relationships; compare mathematical expressions to the real world; and engage in computational thinking as they use or develop algorithms to describe the natural or designed worlds. Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
Science5Physical Science5.1.2.1--Students will be able to design and conduct investigations in the classroom, laboratory, and/or field to test students’ ideas and questions, and will organize and collect data to provide evidence to support claims the students make about phenomena. Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
Science6Earth's Systems6.3.1.1--Students will be able to develop, revise, and use models to represent the students’ understanding of phenomena or systems as they develop questions, predictions and/or explanations, and communicate ideas to others. Develop a model, based on observational evidence, to describe the cycling and movement of Earth’s rock material and the energy that drives these processes.
English Language Arts5Reading 5.1.5.3--Apply knowledge of text structure to understand and evaluate a wide variety of complex literary and informational texts. Interpret, apply and evaluate the ideas/information conveyed through illustrations, graphics and other audiovisual elements to support understanding in text.
