Grades 3/4 Cohort: Body Systems and Living Systems (Year A) and Energy (Year B)
Priority Standards:
4-PS3-1: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
4-PS3-2: Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
4-PS3-3: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
4-PS3-4: Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
Essential Questions:
How do systems function and dysfunction?
What is energy?
How does energy impact its surroundings?
How is energy transferred and conserved?
How do engineers solve problems?
