Appendix C: Implementing District Standards
Science
4.1 The student will demonstrate an understanding of scientific reasoning, logic, and the nature of science by planning and conducting investigations in which
a) distinctions are made among observations, conclusions, inferences, and predictions;
b) objects or events are classified and arranged according to characteristics or properties;
c) appropriate instruments are selected and used to measure length, mass, volume, and temperature in metric units;
d) appropriate instruments are selected and used to measure elapsed time;
e) predictions and inferences are made, and conclusions are drawn based on data from a variety of sources;
f) independent and dependent variables are identified;
g) constants in an experimental situation are identified;
h) hypotheses are developed as cause and effect relationships;
i) data are collected, recorded, analyzed, and displayed using bar and basic line graphs;
j) numerical data that are contradictory or unusual in experimental results are recognized;
k) data are communicated with simple graphs, pictures, written statements, and numbers;
l) models are constructed to clarify explanations, demonstrate relationships, and solve needs; and
m) current applications are used to reinforce science concepts.
4.5 The student will investigate and understand how plants and animals, including
humans, in an ecosystem interact with one another and with the nonliving components in
the ecosystem. Key concepts include
a)plant and animal adaptations;
Math
4.6 The student will
a) estimate and measure weight/mass and describe the results in U.S. Customary and
metric units as appropriate;
4.9 The student will determine elapsed time in hours and minutes within a 12–hour
period.
4.14 The student will collect, organize, display, and interpret data from a variety of
graphs.
