Standard(s):
[SC2015] (4) 2 : 2 ) Plan and carry out investigations that explain transference of energy from
place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
a. Provide evidence that heat can be produced in many ways (e.g., rubbing
hands together, burning leaves) and can move from one object to another by conduction.
b. Demonstrate that different objects can absorb, reflect, and/or conduct
energy.
c. Demonstrate that electric circuits require a complete loop through which
an electric current can pass.
[SC2015] (4) 9 : 9 ) Examine evidence to support an argument that the internal and external
structures of plants (e.g., thorns, leaves, stems, roots, colored petals, xylem,
phloem) and animals (e.g., heart, stomach, lung, brain, skin) function to
support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
[SC2015] (5) 8 : 8 ) Defend the position that plants obtain materials needed for growth
primarily from air and water.
[SC2015] (5) 9 : 9 ) Construct an illustration to explain how plants use light energy to convert
carbon dioxide and water into a storable fuel, carbohydrates, and a waste
product, oxygen, during the process of photosynthesis.
