Part of: [Nebraska: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/ne-sci.md)

Goal: Nebraska academic standards: Science, Grade 4

## 1. Earth’s Systems: Processes That Shape the Earth · Gather and analyze data to communicate an understanding of Earth’s systems and processes that shape the Earth.

- [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
- [Erosion and weathering](https://ai.page/c/erosion-and-weathering/index.md): Make observations and measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation

## 2. Structure, Function, and Information Processing · Gather and analyze data to communicate an understanding of structure, function and information processing of living things.

- [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
- [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
- [How We See Objects](https://ai.page/c/how-we-see-objects/index.md): Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen

## 3. Energy: Conservation and Transfer · Gather, analyze and communicate evidence of energy conservation and transfer.

- [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
- [How energy travels around](https://ai.page/c/how-energy-travels-around/index.md): Observe and provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents
- [Natural resources](https://ai.page/c/natural-resources/index.md): Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment
- [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
- [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
- [What happens when things collide](https://ai.page/c/what-happens-when-things-collide/index.md): Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide

## 4. Waves: Waves and Information · Gather, analyze, and communicate evidence of waves and the information they transfer.

- [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
- [Patterns & Codes for Information](https://ai.page/c/patterns-and-codes-for-information/index.md): Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information, such as codes and signals
