| Science | 4 | Earth Sciences | 4-ESS3-1 | Energy | Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment. Examples of renewable energy resources could include wind energy, water behind dams, or sunlight; non-renewable energy resources are fossil fuels or fissile materials. |
| Science | 4 | Earth Sciences and Physical Sciences | 4-PS4-1 | Science and Engineering Practices | Develop a model using an analogy, example, or abstract representation to describe a scientific principle. |
| Science | 4 | Physical Sciences | 4-PS3-2 | Energy | Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. |
| Science | 4 | Physical Sciences | 4-PS3-4 | Energy | Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. Examples of devices could include electric circuits that convert electrical energy into motion, light, or sound energy. |
| Science | 4 | Physical Sciences | PS3.D | Energy in Chemical Processes and Everyday Life | The expression "produce energy" typically refers to the conversion of stored energy into a desired form for practical use. |
| Science | 4 | Science and Engineering Practices | 4-ETS1-3 | Planning and Carrying Out Investigations | Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered. |
| Science | 5 | Earth Sciences | 5-ESS3-1 | Earth's Systems | Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment. |
| Science | 5 | Science and Engineering Practices | 5-ESS2-1 | Developing and Using Models | Develop a model using an example to describe a scientific principle. |
| Science | 5 | Science and Engineering Practices | 5-ESS3-1 | Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information | Obtain and combine information from books and/or other reliable media to explain phenomena . . . |
| Science | 5 | Science and Engineering Practices | 5-ETS1-3 | Planning and Carrying Out Investigations | Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered. |
| Science | 6 | Science and Engineering Practices | 6-PS3-3 | Energy | Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.Examples of devices could include an insulated box, a solar cooker, and a polystyrene foam cup. |
| Science | 6 | Science and Engineering Practices | 6-PS3-5 | Engaging in Argument from Evidence | Construct, use, and present oral and written arguments supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon. |
| Science | 7 | Science and Engineering Practices | 7-ESS2-1 | Developing and Using Models | Develop and use a model to describe phenomena. |
