Life Science
L1: Organisms are organized on a cellular basis and have a finite life span.
E1: The composition of the Earth and its atmosphere and the natural and human processes occurring within them shape the Earth’s surface and its climate.

Core Ideas for Using Science
U1: Scientists explain phenomena using evidence obtained from observations and or scientific investigations. Evidence may lead to developing models and or theories to make sense of phenomena. As new evidence is discovered, models and theories can be revised.

Life Sciences: Students develop an understanding of the diversity of past and present organisms, factors impacting organism diversity, and evidence of change of organisms over time.
Life Science Standards
4.L4U1.11. Analyze and interpret environmental data to demonstrate that species either adapt and survive, or go extinct over time.
Physical Sciences: Students develop an understanding of how Earth’s resources can be transformed into different forms of energy. Students develop a better understanding of electricity and magnetism.
Physical Science Standards
4.P2U1.3. Develop and use a model to demonstrate magnetic forces.
Earth and Space Sciences: Students develop an understanding of the different Earth systems and how they interact with each other. They understand how geological systems change and shape the Earth and the evidence that is used to understand these changes.
Earth and Space Standards
4.E1U1.5. Use models to explain seismic waves and their effect on the Earth.
4.E1U1.6. Plan and carry out an investigation to explore and explain the interactions between Earth’s major systems and the impact on Earth’s surface materials and processes.
4.E1U1.7. Develop and/or revise a model using various rock types, fossil location, and landforms to show evidence that Earth’s surface has changed over time.
