4-PS3-1
“Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.”
Questions 1 to 6 link a faster bicycle, car or baseball to more energy.
4-PS3-2
“Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.”
Question 7 sorts four observations by form of energy, and questions 9 and 10 cover light, heat and the direction heat moves.
4-PS3-3
“Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.”
Questions 11 to 15 use the marble data and a bowling strike to predict and explain energy changes in a collision.
4-PS3-4
“Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.”
Questions 16 to 19 ask what a solar oven, a flashlight and a fan convert, and how to improve a small wind turbine.
4-ESS3-1
“Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment.”
Questions 20 to 24 sort energy sources and weigh the effects of coal, dams, wind and solar on the environment.
