Science and Technology/Engineering | Grade : 4

Discipline - Technology/Engineering

Core Idea - Engineering Design

[4.ETS.1.3] - Plan and carry out tests of one or more design features of a given model or prototype in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify which features need to be improved. Apply the results of tests to redesign a model or prototype.* Clarification Statement: Examples of design features can include materials, size, shape, and weight.

Predecessor Standards:

  • 3.MD.A.2
    Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard metric units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same metric units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem. [Note: Excludes compound units such as cm3 and finding the geometric volume of a container. Excludes multiplicative comparison problems (problems involving notions of “times as much”; Glossary, Table 2).]
  • 3.MD.B.4
    Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of objects using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Record and show the data by making a line plot (dot plot), where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units—whole numbers, halves, or fourths. (See Glossary for example.)

Successor Standards:

  • 5.ESS.3.2
    Test a simple system designed to filter particulates out of water and propose one change to the design to improve it.*
  • 7.ETS.1.4
    Generate and analyze data from iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process to optimize the object, tool, or process for its intended purpose.*

Same Level Standards:

  • W.4.1
    Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons and information.
  • L.4.6
    Acquire and use accurately grade-appropriate general academic and domain-specific words and phrases, including those that signal precise actions, emotions, or states of being (e.g., quizzed, whined, stammered) and that are basic to a particular to a particular topic (e.g., wildlife, conservation, and endangered when discussing animal preservation). grade 4 Reading literature Standard 4 and Reading Informational Text Standard 4 on applying knowledge of vocabulary to reading; see grade 4Writing Standard 5 and Speaking and Listening Standard 4 on strengthening writing and presentations by applying knowledge of vocabulary.)
  • 4.NF.C.7
    Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
  • 4.PS.3.4
    Apply scientific principles of energy and motion to test and refine a device that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy or uses stored energy to cause motion or produce light or sound.* Clarification Statement: Sources of stored energy can include water in a bucket or a weight suspended at a height, and a battery.
