Earth and Human Activity

Earth Systems

From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Function

Energy

Motion and Stability of Forces

Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.

Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.

Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live.

Ask questions to understand the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for and respond to severe weather.

Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.

Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull.

Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface.

Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.

Algorithms & Programming

With guidance, model daily processes and follow algorithms (sets of stepby-step instructions) to complete tasks verbally, kinesthetically, with robot devices, or a programming language.

Algorithms

Control

With guidance, independently or collaboratively create programs to accomplish tasks using a programming language, robot device, or unplugged activity that includes sequencing (i.e., emphasizing the beginning, middle, and end).

Modularity

With guidance, decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a simple problem.

Program Development

With guidance, create a grade-level appropriate artifact to illustrate thoughts, ideas, or stories in a sequential manner (e.g., story map, storyboard, and sequential graphic organizer).

Independently or with guidance give credit to ideas, creations and solutions of others while developing algorithms.

With guidance, independently or collaboratively debug algorithms using a programming language and/or unplugged activity that includes sequencing.

Use correct terminology (beginning, middle, end) in the development of an algorithm to solve a simple problem.

Variables

With guidance, recognize that computers represent different types of data using numbers or other symbols.

Computing Systems

Devices

With guidance, follow directions and start to make appropriate choices to use computing devices to perform a variety of tasks.

Hardware & Software

Use appropriate terminology to locate and identify common computing devices and components in a variety of environments (e.g., desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet device, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer).

Troubleshooting

Recognize that computing systems might not work as expected and, with guidance, use accurate terminology to identify simple hardware or software problems (e.g., volume turned down on headphones, monitor turned off).

Data Analysis

Collection, Visualization, & Transformation

With guidance, collect data and present it visually.

Inference & Models

With guidance, draw conclusions based on pictographs, real-object graphs, or patterns.

Storage

With guidance, locate, open, modify, and save an existing file with a computing device.

Impacts of Computing

Culture

Identify different ways in which types of technologies are used in your daily life.

Social Interactions

With guidance, identify appropriate behavior while participating in an online environment.

Internet Safety, Law, & Ethics

With guidance, identify ways to stay safe online.

Networks & The Internet

Cybersecurity

Discuss what passwords are and why we do not share them with others. With guidance, use passwords to access computing devices.

Network Communication & Organization

Recognize that computing devices can be connect
