Standards: Science
The science standards include both NGSS and Michigan Science Standards.
3-LS3-1
(1)
Education Level 3
Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.
3-LS3-2
(1)
Education Level 3
Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
3-LS4-1
(2)
Education Level 3
Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.
3-LS4-2
(1)
Education Level 3
Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving finding mates and reproducing.
3-LS4-3
(1)
Education Level 3
Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well some survive less well and some cannot survive at all.
3-LS4-4
(2)
Education Level 3
Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.
3-PS2-1
(1)
Education Level 3
Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
3-PS2-2
(1)
Education Level 3
Make observations and/or measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
3-PS2-3
(1)
Education Level 3
Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.
3-PS2-4
(1)
Education Level 3
Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.
4-ESS1-1
(1)
Education Level 4
Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
