Understand how forces (pushes or pulls) affect the motion of an object
Explain how some forces (pushes and pulls) can be used to make things move without touching them, such as magnets
Recognize the features and patterns of the earth/moon/sun system as observed from Earth
Understand characteristics of various environments and behaviors of humans that enable plants and animals to survive.
Summarize the needs of living organisms for energy and growth
Explain the importance of a push or pull to changing the motion of an object
Predict the effect of a given force on the motion of an object, including balanced forces
Recognize differences in the features of the day and night sky and apparent movement of objects across the sky as observed from Earth.
Recognize patterns of observable changes in the Moon’s appearance from day to day.
Recognize that plants and animals need air, water, light (plants only), space, food and shelter and that these may be found in their environment.
Give examples of how the needs of different plants and animals can be met by their environments in Georgia or different places throughout the world.
Summarize ways that humans protect their environment and/or improve conditions for the growth of the plants and animals that live there (e.g., reuse or recycle products to avoid littering.)
Summarize the basic needs of a variety of different plants (including air, water, nutrients, and light) for energy and growth.
Summarize the basic needs of a variety of different animals (including air, water, and food) for energy and growth.
