Brain Processing of Senses MI K-12 4 4-LS1-2 Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
Brain Processing of Sense MI K-12 4 4-LS1-1 Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Collisions MI K-12 4 4-PS3-1 Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
Collisions MI K-12 4 4-PS3-3 Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
Earth's Landscapes MI K-12 4 4-ESS3-1 Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
Earth's Landscapes MI K-12 4th 4-ESS1-1 Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support possible explanations of Michigan’s geological changes over time.
Energy Transfer; Wave Properties; MI K-12 4th 4-ESS3-2 Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
Extreme Weather Solutions; Natural Disasters MI K-12 4th 4-ESS3-2 Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.
Extreme Weather Solutions; Natural Disasters MI K-12 4th 4-ESS3-2 Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on Michigan’s people and places.
Information Transfer MI K-12 4th 4-PS4-3 Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.t.
Light Reflection & Vision MI K-12 4th 4-PS3-2 Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.
Natural Disasters;Erosion Rates River Erosion Weathering MI K-12 4th 4-ESS2-2 Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Resources MI K-12 4th 4-ESS3-1 Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Resources;Energy Transfer MI K-12 4th 4-PS3-4 Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Resources MI K-12 4th 3-5-ETS1-1 Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Resources MI K-12 4th 3-5-ETS1-2 Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Resources MI K-12 4th 3-5-ETS1-3 Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Resources MI K-12 4th 4-PS4-1 Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
Weathering & Erosion; Interactions of Earth’s Spheres MI K-12 4th 4-ESS2-1 Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.
