1. Environmental and Sustainability Education · Through project-based learning, synthesize evidence using information from multiple sources about local ecological, social, and economic systems to collabo

1. Communities Protecting Resources: Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment

2. Earth and Space Sciences · Research to understand and explain human impacts on the environment and design solutions to lessen impacts of environmental events on humans.

1. Natural Disaster Solutions: Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans, such as earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions
2. Natural resources: Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment

3. Earth and Space Sciences · Use investigation, evidence, and data to show and explain patterns in Earth’s features and what causes those features to change.

1. Finding patterns in data: 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
2. Erosion and weathering: Make observations and measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation

4. Earth and Space Sciences · Use evidence to show and explain how Earth’s features have changed over time.

1. How fossils form: Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time

5. Life Science · Use modeling to show and explain internal and external structures of plants and animals that help them live successfully.

1. Senses, Brain & Responses: Use a model to describe that animals receive information through their senses, process it in their brain, and respond in different ways
2. Structures for Survival: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction

6. Physical Science · Use investigation, evidence and modeling to show and explain how energy behaves, including as waves; design and evaluate solutions that use energy in patterns to communicate.

1. Building an energy-converting device: Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another
2. How We See Objects: Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen
3. Waves & How They Move: Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and understand that waves can cause objects to move

7. Physical Science · Use evidence, data, and investigation to explain energy transfer and the energy of objects in motion; apply these understandings to design and build a device that converts energy.

1. Speed and energy: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object
2. What happens when things collide: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide
3. How energy travels around: Observe and provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents
