Generate resourceDefine a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
Generate resourceGenerate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
Generate resourcePlan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
Generate resourceRepresent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.
Generate resourceObtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world.
Generate resourceMake a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard.
Generate resourceDevelop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Generate resourceConstruct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.
Generate resourceAnalyze 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.
Generate resourceUse evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
Generate resourceAnalyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.
Generate resourceUse 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.
Generate resourceConstruct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
Generate resourceMake 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.
Generate resourcePlan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
Generate resourceMake observations and/or measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
Generate resourceAsk questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.
Generate resourceDefine a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.
Generate resourceCreate programs using a programming language that includes sequences, loops, conditionals, and variables to solve a problem or express an idea.
Generate resourceModify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one’s own work, to develop or add more advanced features (grade-level appropriate).
Generate resourceCommunicate and explain program development to peers and adults using comments, presentations, and demonstrations.
Generate resourceUse an iterative process to plan the development of a program by including others’ perspectives and considering user preferences while solving simple problems.
Generate resourceIdentify instances of remixing, when ideas are borrowed and treated upon, and provide attribution
Generate resourceAnalyze and debug an existing program or algorithm that includes sequencing, repetition, and variables in a programming language.
Generate resourceCreate programs that use variables to store and modify grade appropriate data.
Generate resourceIdentify and troubleshoot, using appropriate technical terminology, simple hardware and software problems that may occur during everyday use, discuss problems with peers and adults (e.g., viruses, malware, versions of software and non-working applications, refresh screen, closing/reopening application, adjusting volume on headphones or speakers).
Generate resourceIdentify a variety of ways computer hardware and software work together as a system to accomplish a task.
Generate resourceIdentify internal and external parts of computing devices that function together to form a system.
Generate resourceCollect, organize, and present the same data in a variety of visual formats (e.g., charts, graphs, tables, etc.).
Generate resourceUtilize data to make predictions and discuss whether there are sufficient data to make these predictions and extrapolations.
Generate resourceRecognize that different types of information are stored in different formats that have varying characteristics, which could include associated programs and storage requirements.
Generate resourceIdentify potential problems that limit accessibility/usability and how computing devices have built-in features to increase accessibility for all users.
Generate resourceIdentify how different technologies created by people from diverse backgrounds have contributed to computing and helped to change the world.
Generate resourceDevelop a code of conduct, explain, and practice grade-level appropriate behavior and responsibilities while participating online. Identify and report inappropriate behavior.
Generate resourceIdentify how computing devices and computational products have been, or can be, improved by incorporating diverse perspectives.
