3rd Grade Science Standards Physical Sciences 1. Energy and matter have multiple forms and can be changed from one form to another. 2. Light has a source and travels in a direction. Life Sciences 3. Adaptations in physical structure or behavior may improve an organism's chance for survival. Earth Sciences 4. Objects in the sky move in regular and predictable patterns. Investigation and Experimentation 5. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. 4th Grade Science Standards Physical Sciences 1. Electricity and magnetism are related effects that have many useful applications in everyday life. Life Sciences 2. All organisms need energy and matter to live and grow. 3. Living organisms depend on one another and on their environment for survival. Earth Sciences 4. The properties of rocks and minerals reflect the processes that formed them. 5. Waves, wind, water, and ice shape and reshape the Earth's land surface. Investigation and Experimentation 6. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. 5th Grade Science Standards Physical Sciences 1. Elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world. Life Sciences 2. Plants and animals have structures for respiration, digestion, waste disposal, and transport of materials. Earth Sciences 3. Water on Earth moves between the oceans and land through the processes of evaporation and condensation. 4. Energy from the sun heats the Earth unevenly, causing air movements resulting in changing weather patterns. 5. The solar system consists of planets and other bodies that orbit the sun in predictable paths. Investigation and Experimentation 6.

6h grade science standards - emphasis on Earth Science: 1. Plate Tectonics and Earth's Structure Plate tectonics explains important features of the Earth's surface and major geologic events. 2. Shaping the Earth's Surface Topography is reshaped by weathering of rock and soil and by the transportation and deposition of sediment. 3. Heat (Thermal Energy) (Physical Science) Heat moves in a predictable flow from warmer objects to cooler objects until all objects are at the same temperature. 4. Energy in the Earth System Many phenomena on the Earth's surface are affected by the transfer of energy through radiation and convection currents. 5. Ecology (Life Science) Organisms in ecosystems exchange energy and nutrients among themselves and with the environment. 6. Resources Sources of energy and materials differ in amounts, distribution, usefulness, and the time required for their formation. 7. Investigation and Experimentation Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.
