Matter-STEAM PROJECT -Grade4 Design Challenges with Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Abstract
Learning Standards: Science 4-PS1-1: Plan and conduct investigations to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 4-PS1-2: Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. 4-PS1-3: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in materials when different materials interact. Technology Information and Communication Technologies (ICT): Using Digital Media and Environments 4-T.6: Use digital tools (e.g., computers) to access and retrieve information relevant to specific tasks. Math Measurement and Data 4.MD.1: Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table. Arts Visual Arts: Creating 4.VA.Cr.2.3: Create original artwork, using film, photography, computer graphics, or video, that communicates ideas or emotions. English Language Arts (ELA) Reading Standards for Informational Text RI.4.9: Integrate information from two texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably.
