Science Food, Minerals, Exercise, Vitamins 4.L.2 Understand food and the benefits of vitamins, minerals and exercise. 4.L.2.1 Classify substances as food or non-food items based on their ability to provide energy and materials for survival, growth, and repair of the body. 4.L.2.2 Explain the role of vitamins and minerals, and exercise in maintaining a healthy body. Force and Motion: Magnets & Electric Charge 4.P.1 Explain how various forces affect the motion of an object. 4.P.1.1 Explain how magnets interact with all things made of iron and with other magnets to produce motion without touching them. 4.P.1.2 Explain how electrically charged objects push or pull on other electrically charged objects and produce motion. Forms and Interactions of Energy 4.P.3 Recognize that energy takes various forms that may be grouped based on their interaction with matter. 4.P.3.1 Recognize the basic forms of energy (light, sound, heat, electrical, and magnetic) as the ability to cause motion or create change. 4.P.3.2 Recognize that light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object or travels from one medium to another, and that light can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed. Matter, Rocks, and Minerals 4.P.2 Understand the composition and properties of matter before and after they undergo a change or interaction. 4.P.2.1 Compare the physical properties of samples of matter (strength, hardness, flexibility, ability to conduct heat, ability to conduct electricity, ability to be attracted by magnets, reactions to water and fire). 4.P.2.2 Explain how minerals are identified using tests for the physical properties of hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and streak. 4.P.2.3 Classify rocks as metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous based on their composition, how they are formed and the processes that create them. Earth Changing History 4.E.2 Understand the use of fossils and changes in the surface of the earth as evidence of the history of the earth and its changing life forms. 4.E.2.1 Compare fossils (including molds, casts, and preserved parts of plants and animals) to one another and to living organisms. 4.E.2.2 Infer ideas about Earth’s early environments from fossils of plants and animals that lived long ago. 4.E.2.3 Give examples of how the surface of the earth changes due to slow processes such as erosion and weathering, and rapid processes such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. |
