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

Goal: Washington academic standards: Science, Grade 4

## 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

- [Communities Protecting Resources](https://ai.page/c/communities-protecting-resources/index.md): 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.

- [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
- [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

## 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.

- [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

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

- [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

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

- [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

## 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.

- [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
- [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
- [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

## 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.

- [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
- [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
