Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
4th, 5th, and 6th Grade
Energy-definitions of energy, energy and forces, ecosystems, conservation of energy and energy transfer, photosynthesis.
Waves-Wavelength, amplitude, frequency, electromagnetic radiation, color
Structures and Processes-Plants, animals, cells
Earth's Place in the universe-rock formations, solar system, earthquakes, volcanoes
Earth's Systems-Weathering/erosion, climate, mountain ranges, ocean trenches, role of water in Earth's system
Forces and interactions-Newton's laws, types of interactions (electric and magnetic), gravitational force
Earth and Human Activity-Energy fuels, natural resources, things individuals are doing to help protect Earth's resources and environment, global climate change.
Engineering Design-Solutions to problems
