- Students understand basic forms of energy: light, heat, sound, electrical, and mechanical energy. They recognize energy has the ability to cause motion or create change, and demonstrate that light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object and travels from one medium to another, Students demonstrate that light can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed.
- Students understand properties of matter, how to describe and compare states of matter through measurement of mass and temperature.
- Students understand scientific process of asking questions, conducting investigations to answer questions, and communicating empirical evidence gathered during investigations. Comparisons will be made on the tools used by different groups and students will develop an understanding of how scientists use models to help explain how things work.
- Students explain Sun's energy will heat objects, and without the Sun heat may be lost.
- Students understand characteristics of the Sun and explore the Law of Gravity.
- Students understand how plants respond to stimuli, their structure, and roles in food production, support, water/nutrient transport, and reproduction. They explain how plants use energy from the Sun, air, and water to make food. They know how plants and animals respond to seasonal change.
