(b). Knowledge and skills.
(1). Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student conducts classroom and outdoor investigations following home and school safety procedures and environmentally appropriate and ethical practices. The student is expected to:
(A). demonstrate safe practices and the use of safety equipment as outlined in Texas Education Agency-approved safety standards during classroom and outdoor investigations using safety equipment, including safety goggles or chemical splash goggles, as appropri
(10). Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to:
(A). compare the structures and functions of different species that help them live and survive in a specific environment such as hooves on prairie animals or webbed feet in aquatic animals
(B). differentiate between inherited traits of plants and animals such as spines on a cactus or shape of a beak and learned behaviors such as an animal learning tricks or a child riding a bicycle
(2). Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student uses scientific practices during laboratory and outdoor investigations. The student is expected to:
(B). ask well defined questions, formulate testable hypotheses, and select and use appropriate equipment and technology
(G). construct appropriate simple graphs, tables, maps, and charts using technology, including computers, to organize, examine, and evaluate information
(3). Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student uses critical thinking and scientific problem solving to make informed decisions. The student is expected to:
(A). analyze, evaluate, and critique scientific explanations by using evidence, logical reasoning, and experimental and observational testing
(B). draw or develop a model that represents how something that cannot be seen such as the Sun, Earth, and Moon system and formation of sedimentary rock works or looks
(4). Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student knows how to use a variety of tools and methods to conduct science inquiry. The student is expected to:
(A). collect, record, and analyze information using tools, including calculators, microscopes, cameras, computers, hand lenses, metric rulers, Celsius thermometers, prisms, mirrors, balances, spring scales, graduated cylinders, beakers, hot plates, meter stick
(5). Matter and energy. The student knows that matter has measurable physical properties and those properties determine how matter is classified, changed, and used. The student is expected to:
(A). classify matter based on measurable, testable, and observable physical properties, including mass, magnetism, physical state (solid, liquid, and gas)., relative density (sinking and floating using water as a reference point)., solubility in water, and the
(C). identify changes that can occur in the physical properties of the ingredients of solutions such as dissolving salt in water or adding lemon juice to water
(6). Force, motion, and energy. The student knows that energy occurs in many forms and can be observed in cycles, patterns, and systems. The student is expected to:
(A). explore the uses of energy, including mechanical, light, thermal, electrical, and sound energy
(C). demonstrate that light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object and is reflected or travels through one medium to another and is refracted
(8). Earth and space. The student knows that there are recognizable patterns in the natural world and among the Sun, Earth, and Moon system. The student is expected to:
Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game & Study GuideEarth's Waters
(C). demonstrate that Earth rotates on its axis once approximately every 24 hours causing the day/night cycle and the apparent movement of the Sun across the sky
(C). predict the effects of changes in ecosystems caused by living organisms, including humans, such as the overpopulation of grazers or the building of highways
