In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/mo-sci-grade-4 Part of: [Missouri: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/mo-sci.md) Goal: Missouri academic standards: Science, Grade 4 ## 1. Engineering Design · Optimizing the Solution Process - [Fair testing (age 8+)](https://ai.page/c/fair-testing-age-8/index.md): Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved ## 2. Engineering Design · Developing Possible Solutions - [Comparing Possible Solutions](https://ai.page/c/comparing-possible-solutions/index.md): Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints ## 3. Engineering Design · Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems - [Simple Design Problems](https://ai.page/c/simple-design-problems/index.md): Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost ## 4. Earth and Human Activity · Natural Resources - [Natural Disaster Solutions](https://ai.page/c/natural-disaster-solutions/index.md): Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans, such as earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions ## 5. Earth's Systems · Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale Systems - [Finding patterns in data](https://ai.page/c/finding-patterns-in-data/index.md): Analyse and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features, recognising that many features result from processes that occur over long periods ## 6. Earth's Place in the Universe · The History of Planet Earth - [How fossils form](https://ai.page/c/how-fossils-form-2/index.md): Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time ## 7. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Information Processing - [Senses, Brain & Responses](https://ai.page/c/senses-brain-and-responses/index.md): Use a model to describe that animals receive information through their senses, process it in their brain, and respond in different ways ## 8. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Structure and Function - [Structures for Survival](https://ai.page/c/structures-for-survival/index.md): Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction ## 9. Waves and Their Applications in technologies for Information Transfer · Wave Properties - [Waves & How They Move](https://ai.page/c/waves-and-how-they-move/index.md): Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and understand that waves can cause objects to move ## 10. Energy · Relationship Between Energy and Forces - [Speed and energy](https://ai.page/c/speed-and-energy/index.md): Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object ## 11. Energy · Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer - [Building an energy-converting device](https://ai.page/c/building-an-energy-converting-device/index.md): Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another - [Naming types of energy](https://ai.page/c/naming-types-of-energy/index.md): Name and use vocabulary for types of energy and energy transfer — kinetic energy, potential energy, heat energy, light energy, sound energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, stored energy, energy transfer, energy transformation — and describe energy changes in familiar situations using these terms ## 12. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions · Types of Interaction - [Friction & Surfaces](https://ai.page/c/friction-and-surfaces/index.md): Compare how things move on different surfaces, noticing that some surfaces create more friction than others - [Balanced & Unbalanced Forces](https://ai.page/c/balanced-and-unbalanced-forces/index.md): Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object ## 13. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions · Forces and Motion - [Predicting Motion Patterns](https://ai.page/c/predicting-motion-patterns/index.md): Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 15 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
