SCI-04.PS3DCI Physical Science PS3EnergyPerformance ExpectationsThe performance expectations in fourth grade help students formulate answers to questions such as:
Students are able to use a model of waves to describe patterns of waves in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and that waves can cause objects to move. Students are expected to develop understanding of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation. They apply their knowledge of natural Earth processes to generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of such processes on humans. In order to describe patterns of Earth’s features, students analyze and interpret data from maps. Fourth graders are expected to develop an understanding that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. By developing a model, they describe that an object can be seen when light reflected from its surface enters the eye. Students are able to use evidence to construct an explanation of the relationship between the speed of an object and the energy of that object. Students are expected to develop an understanding that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents or from object to object through collisions. They apply their understanding of energy to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. Calculation Method for DCIDisciplinary Core Ideas are larger groups of related Performance Expectations. So the Disciplinary Core Idea Grade is a calculation of all the related Performance Expectations. So click on the Performance Expectation name below each Disciplinary Core Idea to access the learning targets and proficiency scales for each Disciplinary Core Idea's related Performance Expectations. | |
SCI-04.PS3.01
4th Grade (SCI) Science Standards
SCI-04.PS3.01 Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.Clarification Statement: Emphasis on relative speeds of objects and the connection between motion and energy
| |
SCI-04.PS3.03
4th Grade (SCI) Science Standards
SCI-04.PS3.03 Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the change in the energy due to the change in speed, not on the forces, as objects interact.

SCI-04.PS4.03
4th Grade (SCI) Science Standards
SCI-04.PS4.03 Construct a code to convey information by researching past and present methods of transmitting information.Clarification Statement: Examples of past methods could include a string between two cans, Morse code, rotary dial telephones.
Examples of current methods include fiber optics, digitized signals, wireless communication, blue tooth,
and using code.org for exploration of computer coding patterns.
