Lesson 5
States of Matter 
The students will be able to describe and classify samples of matter as solids, liquids, and gases. 
Lesson 6
States of Matter continued 
The students will be able to predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by heating or cooling; 
and recognize that a mixture is created when two materials are combined such as gravel and sand and metal and plastic paper clips.
 Week 4
Lesson 7
Force, Motion, and Energy 
The students will be able to explore different forms of energy, including mechanical, light, sound, and heat/thermal in everyday life. 
Lesson 8
Force, Motion, and Energy continued 
The students will be able to demonstrate how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects to show work being done such as swings, balls, pulleys, and wagons. The students will also be able to describe magnetism. 
 Week 5
Lesson 9
Earth and Space 
The students will be able to record how soils are formed by weathering of rock and the decomposition of plant and animal remains. The students will also be able to describe the properties of soil such as color, texture and their capactiy to retain water. 
Lesson 10
Earth and Space continued 
The students will be able to investigate rapid changes in Earth's surface such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and landslides. 
 Week 6
Lesson 11
Earth and Space continued 
The students will be able to classify renewable and nonrenewable resources. 
Lesson 12
Earth and Space continued
The students will be able to record, and compare day-to-day weather changes in different locations at the same time that include air temperature, wind direction, and precipitation. The students will also be able to explain the water cycle and the Sun plays a major role in the cycle. 
 Week 7
Lesson 13
Earth and Space continued 
The students will  be able to identify the planets in Earth's solar system and their position in relation to the Sun. The students will also be able to identify sequences and predict patterns of the appearance of the moon. 
Lesson 14
Organisms and Environments 
The students will be able to describe the physical characteristics of environments and how they support populations and communities within an ecosystem. 
 Week 8
Lesson 15
Organisms and Environments continued 
The students will be able to identify and describe the flow of energy in a food chain and predict how changes in a food chain affect the ecosystem. 
Lesson 16
Organisms and Environments continued 
The students will be able to describe environmental changes such as floods and droughts where some organisms thrive and others perish or move to new locations. 
 Week 9
Lesson 17
Organisms and Environments continued 
The students will be able to explain how structures and functions of plants and animals allow them to survive in a particular environment. The students will also be able to describe traits and behaviors that offsprings inherit from their parents. 
Lesson 18
Organisms and Environments continued 
The students will be able to investigate and compare how animals and plants undergo a series of orderly changes in their diverse life cycles such as frogs and beetles.
