Assessment Exam - NGS - Grade 4
Physical Science eTAP Lesson
Energy
Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
NGS.4-PS3-1
Matter and Energy
Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
NGS.4-PS3-2
How Does Electricity Work?

Simple Circuits
Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
NGS.4-PS3-3
Habitats and Geological Events
Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
NGS.4-PS3-4
Living Systems
Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment.
NGS.4-ESS3-1
Producers and Consumers

Decomposers
Waves: Waves and Information
Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
NGS.4-PS4-1
Earth’s Oceans
Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
NGS.4-PS4-3
Transporting Energy
Structure, Function, and Information Processing
Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.
NGS.4-PS4-2
Light
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
NGS.4-LS1-1
Habits in a Habitat
Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
NGS.4-LS1-2
The Scientific Method
Earth and Space Science eTAP Lesson
Earth’s Systems: Processes that Shape the Earth
Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
NGS.4-ESS1-1
Rock or Mineral?

Three Big Rock Groups

Geology
Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.
NGS.4-ESS2-1
Weather and Earth

Earth Resources
Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.
NGS.4-ESS2-2
Erosion Explosion
Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.
NGS.4-ESS3-2
Inside Ecosystems
