Computing Systems

Algorithms and Programming

Describe the iterative process of program development (including terminology, steps taken, and the logic of choices).

Model the way programs store and manipulate data by using numbers or other symbols to represent information.

Select and operate appropriate device and software to perform a variety of tasks, and recognize that users have different needs and preferences for the technology they use.

Recognize that a variety of data (e.g., music, video, images, text) can be stored in and retrieved from a computing device.

Work respectfully and responsibly with others online.

Explain why we keep personal information (e.g., name, location, phone number, home address) private.

Earth's Place in the Universe

Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.

Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.

Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.

Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated.

Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.

Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.

Engineering Design

Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
