1. Environmental and Sustainability Education · Through project-based learning, synthesize information about ecological, social, and economic systems from multiple sources to understand, design, communic

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 · Use evidence and modeling to show and explain how the four major spheres of the Earth interact with each other and the effects of those interactions.

1. Earth's atmosphere: Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems

3. Earth and Space Sciences · Use evidence, data, and modeling to show and explain how Earth’s mass affects how objects on its surface feel (weight) and behave.

1. Gravity & Falling Objects: Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object

4. Earth and Space Sciences · Use evidence, data, and modeling to show and explain how relative locations and motion of the Earth, sun, moon, and stars result in patterns of what we see on Earth.

1. Shadows: Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in shadow length and direction, day and night cycles, and seasonal star patterns
2. 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
3. Star Brightness & Distance: Support an argument that the apparent brightness of the sun and stars is due to their relative distances from Earth, understanding the sun is a relatively close star

5. Life Science · Use evidence, data, and modeling to show and explain the movement of matter among living and non-living parts of an ecosystem.

1. Matter Cycling in Ecosystems: Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment in an ecosystem

6. Life Science · Use models to show and explain how the sun’s energy is passed through systems made up of plants and animals, including how that energy is used for life processes.

1. Energy from Food & the Sun: Use models to describe that energy in animals' food was once energy from the sun, transferred through plants or other organisms

7. Life Science · Use investigation, evidence and data to show and explain where plants obtain matter needed grow.

1. Plants Grow from Air & Water: Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water, not from the soil

8. Physical Science · Use evidence, data, and modeling to investigate and measure the properties of matter and how combining matter or changing its temperature affects those properties.

1. Testing Materials for Uses: Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials including metals, wood, and plastic
2. Conservation of Mass: Measure and provide evidence that the total weight of matter is conserved regardless of the type of change (heating, cooling, or mixing)
3. Matter Is Made of Particles: Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen, and that this explains properties of solids, liquids, and gases
