Given a solution to a simple design problem, students are able to identify materials needed to solve a simple design problem, provided a variety of materials.

Generate more than one possible solution to a problem.

Determine whether or not an engineering design product meets criteria, and communicate failure point(s).

Use a model to communicate typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.

Describe the local climate.

Communicate a solution that reduces the impacts of weather.

Use a model to demonstrate the life cycle of an organism.

Use a model to demonstrate that some animals form groups.

Use evidence to show how offspring inherit physical traits that resemble those of their parents.

Make observations about how an organism's observable traits can be influenced by the environment.

Identify fossils as the remains of plants and animals that lived long ago.

Use models to identify characteristics that help organisms survive.

Determine whether or not an organism is able to survive in a given environment.

Identify what happens to organisms when there is a major environmental change.

Demonstrate how the direction, or speed, of an object will change due to an outside force.

Make observations about the pattern(s) of an objects motion to predict future motion.

Demonstrate the effects of a magnetic, or electric, interaction between two objects not in contact with each other.

Given a simple design problem, explore ways to solve the problem using magnets.
