Science and Technology/Engineering | Grade : 4

Discipline - Physical Science

Core Idea - Energy

[4.PS.3.1] - Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object. State Assessment Boundaries: State assessment will be limited to analysis of kinetic energy. Accounting for mass, quantitative measures of changes in the speed of an object, or any precise or quantitative definition of energy is not expected in state assessment.

No Predecessor Standards found.

Successor Standards:

  • 7.PS.3.1
    Construct and interpret data and graphs to describe the relationships among kinetic energy, mass, and speed of an object. Clarification Statements: Examples could include riding a bicycle at different speeds and rolling different-sized rocks downhill. Consider relationships between kinetic energy vs. mass and kinetic energy vs. speed separate from each other; emphasis is on the difference between the linear and exponential relationships. State Assessment Boundary: Calculation or manipulation of the formula for kinetic energy is not expected in state assessment.

Same Level Standards:

  • W.4.8
    Recall relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from print and digital sources; take notes and categorize information, and provide a list of sources.
  • W.4.9
    Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support written analysis, reflection, and research, applying one or more grade 4 standards for Reading Literature or Reading Informational Text as needed.
  • SL.4.3
    Identify the reasons and evidence a speaker provides to support particular points.
  • 4.PS.3.3
    Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide. Clarification Statement: Changes in energy can include a change in the object’s motion, position, and the generation of heat and/or sound. State Assessment Boundary: Analysis of forces or quantitative measurements of energy are not expected in state assessment.
