BIG IDEAS | Science investigation and reasoning increase scientific understanding of natural phenomena. Physical Properties determine how matter is classified, changed, and used. Some materials when mixed together maintain their physical properties; others do not. | There are a variety of uses for different forms of energy. Energy can be changed from one form of energy to another. Forces can change the position, movement, and shape of objects. The effects of force changes depending on the amount and type of force applied to an object. | Landforms result from weathering, erosion, and deposition that change the surface of the Earth with forces caused by water, wind, and ice. Sedimentary rock and fossil fuels are formed through a sequence of processes over long periods of time. Fossils are evidence of past living organisms and environments. | Both weather and climate refer to the local conditions in a certain location but the main difference between them is a matter of time. The sun moves air by cooling and heating land, water, and air creating weather and climate. The water cycle is fueled by the Sun’s energy interacting with the ocean providing heat to evaporate the water. The water cycle does not have a beginning or an end. | |

BIG IDEAS | The Sun, Earth, and the Moon can be differentiated based on their physical characteristics. The rotation of the Earth (every 24 hours) produces the day/night cycle. | In order to survive, organisms interact with biotic and abiotic factors within their ecosystem. The Sun is the primary source of energy and energy transfers between organisms which is illustrated by food webs and food chains. Changes within the ecosystem may occur due to external factors. | Organisms have structures and functions that help them survive within their environment. Organisms have characteristics that are either inherited from their parents or learned behaviors that are acquired from their environment or experience. | The spheres and layers of the Earth have compositional differences. Rocks form in a variety of ways and can be classified based on those formations. | |
