0407.4.1 Draw conclusions about the relationship between reproduction and the survival of a species.

Relate survival in particularenvironments to reproductivesuccess of a species.

Identify how a variety ofinherited traits passed fromparents to offspring lead todifferences within the samespecies (e.g., puppies that differin color and size).

Identify similarities anddifferences between plant oranimal parents and theiroffspring (e.g., eye color, hair/fur color, leaf shape).

Science Social StudiesScientific Inquiry and Engineering Design

NA

• Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering). Examples: Why do offspring from the same parents look different from each other? How do animal parents protect their young? What purpose do parasites serve? What ways do animals get food?

• Developing and using models. Examples: Develop a model of a family to identify common traits between grandparents, parents, and children. Develop a model of a food web or habitat that identifies predators.

• Planning and carrying out investigations. Examples: Conduct experiments to discover how animals are suited for their environment. Conduct an experiment to discover fossils in a soil profile.

• Analyzing and interpreting data. Examples: Use data of traits, eye color, hair color, etc., to see patterns of similarities and differences between parents and offspring.

Following are Connecting Concepts for this Content Module ‐ Physical Science: Definitions of Energy. Students understand:• Patterns 

• Patterns can be used to determine similarities and differences. • Patterns in rates of change and cycles can be used to make predictions. 

• Cause and Effect • Events that occur together with regularity might or might not have a cause‐and‐effect relationship. 

• Some events that occur together are correlated versus causal relationships. 

Science Social StudiesConnecting Concepts

Following are Connecting Concepts for this Content Module: The History of America: The Roaring Twenties and the Modern United States.Students understand:• basic economics• the importance of trading/exchanging goods and services• the effects of change in an economy (e.g., jobs, where people live, what they spend money on, etc.)

• citizens of the United States have rights and responsibilities• reasons and challenges of exploring and moving to new places• ways America grew and developed over time• how people and places can affect art such as music• importance of people’s actions in history

Energy (elementary) – Various forms of energy are constantly being transformed into other types without any net loss of energy from the system: light reflection, absorption, or refraction.Content: • Light is a form of energy.• Light travels in a straight line.• Texture, color, and transparency of objects affect how light behaves when hitting the object.

• Light bouncing off an object is called reflection.
