Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 3
Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 3
Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 3
Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.*

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 3
Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 4
Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 4
Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 4
Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.*

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 4
Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.

Performance Expectation

Grade:  3-5, 4
