Students observe the traits of adult and baby animals in order to construct an explanation that most young animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents
Students investigate how different bird beaks are well suited for eating different kinds of food. They explain which beak would help a particular bird survive in a particular environment
Students obtain information about the behaviors of animal parents that help their offspring survive
Students use observations of animal parents and their offspring to construct an explanation about young plants and animals being similar, but not identical, to their parents
Students identify parts of plants such as roots, branches, and leaves. They evaluate these plant parts and apply that information to design an umbrella that won’t blow down in the wind

Students observe how shadows change as time passes, or as the Sun moves across the sky. They analyze how to move a light source to change the shape and direction of shadows, constructing an explanation of what causes a shadow to move
Students conduct an investigation to gather information about how their shadow changes throughout the day
Students develop a Sun Finder, a model of the Sun’s movement across the sky. They use this model to reason about how the Sun can help guide them during the day
Students obtain information about the seasonal patterns of sunrise and sunset

Students record observations of the Moon’s shape using a series of photos collected over the course of four weeks. Using this information, students discover that the Moon follows a cyclical pattern, which they can use to predict when a full moon will appear
Students develop and use a model of the Big Dipper in the night sky. After conducting a simple investigation, students construct an explanation for why stars are only visible in the night sky
Students observe that groups of stars in the sky form a pattern: constellations. Even though the Big Dipper changes its spot in the sky in different seasons, it always points to the North Star

Students observe seedlings and adult plants and use their observations to identify the pattern that young plants are similar to their parent plants
Students learn how plants respond to light. They conduct an investigation to compare how the parts of a plant respond to light
Students learn how plants respond to light. They conduct an investigation to compare how the parts of a plant respond to light

Students explore how to make different sounds with everyday objects. They construct an explanation that objects vibrate when they make a sound, and if the vibration stops, the sound stops
Students create three different sound makers and construct an explanation about where the vibrations are happening in each sound experiment
Students investigate the properties of different materials that they can and cannot see through. Then they create a stained glass window using tissue paper to explore how materials interact with light
Students look inside a completely dark box to determine if they can see the shape of the object inside. They allow more light into the box to illuminate the object and allow them to see it. Students use their observations explain that objects need light to be seen
Students are presented with the problem that they need to send a message at night, without using noise. They design a solution to create a color-coded message system and communicate with light signals
Students obtain information about light and sound signals. They analyze different sounds with eyes closed to determine which type of sound they hear

Students explain how the diverse perspectives and traditions of families from many cultures have shaped the United States

Students ummarize how effective groups have responsible leaders and team members
Students identify and explain how the significance of notable people, places, holidays, and civic symbols reflect the origins and values of the government and its citizens
