| ELA/Literacy Connections | 3 | | RI.3.1 | -- | Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers. |
| ELA/Literacy Connections | 3 | | W.3.7 | -- | Conduct short research projects that build knowledge about a topic. |
| Health | 3-4 | Personal and Social Responsibility | HE4.4.2 | -- | Explain behaviors that help avoid or reduce health risks. |
| Health | 3-4 | Problem Solving and Decision Making | HE4.2.4 | -- | Explain steps of a simple decision-making process to enhance health or reduce health risks. |
| ELA/Literacy Connections | 4 | | W.4.7 | -- | Conduct short research projects that build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic. |
| Science | 4 | Earth Sciences | 4-ESS3-1 | Earth and Human Activity | Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from renewable and non-renewable resources and how their uses affect the environment. |
| Science | 4 | Physical Sciences | 4-PS3-2 | Energy | Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. |
| Science | 4 | Physical Sciences | 4.PS3-4 | Energy | Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. |
| Science | 4 | Science and Engineering Practices | | -- | Identify the evidence that supports particular points in an explanation. |
| ELA/Literacy Connections | 5 | | W.5.1 | -- | Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons and information. |
| Science | 5 | Physical Sciences | 5-PS1-3 | Matter and Its Interactions | Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. |
| Health | 5-6 | Personal and Social Responsibility | HE6.4.2 | -- | Demonstrate an understanding of behaviors to avoid or reduce health risks. |
| Health | 5-6 | Problem Solving and Decision Making | HE6.2.3 | -- | Explain the steps of a decision-making process to enhance health or reduce health risk. |
| Science | 6-8 | Physical Sciences | MS-ESS2-1 | Disciplinary Core ideas: Earth's Materials and Systems | All Earth processes are the result of energy flowing and matter cycling within and among the planet's systems. This energy is derived from the sun and Earth's hot interior. The energy that flows and matter that cycles produce chemical and physical changes in Earth's materials and living organisms. |
| Science | 6-8 | Physical Sciences | MS-ESS3-1 | Earth and Human Acitivity | Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how the uneven distributions of Earth's mineral, energy, and groundwater resources are the result of past and current geoscience processes. |
