New Brunswick Curriculum
1.1.3: describe how body systems help humans and other animals to grow and reproduce and to meet their basic needs
1.3.2: describe the structure and function of the major organs of the circulatory system
1.3.4: carry out procedures, making certain to control variables, when investigating the factors affecting breathing and heartbeat rate; compile and display data from these investigations in a graph
1.5.2: identify problems and work cooperatively with other students to refine their design of a model of an organ or system
2.1.1: identify properties that allow materials to be distinguished from one another
2.3.1: describe chemical changes that occur when materials interact with each other to form totally new materials, including those that result in the production of a gas
2.4.1: follow a given set of procedures to relate the mass of a whole object to the sum of the mass of its parts, and suggest possible explanations for variations in the results
3.1.1: observe, investigate and describe how forces can act directly or from a distance to cause objects to move or remain in place
3.1.2: describe forces as contact or non-contact
3.2.2: investigate and compare the effect of friction on the movement of objects over a variety of surfaces
Force and Fan Carts
Free Fall Tower
3.3.1: use simple machines to reduce effort or increase the distance an object moves
Ants on a Slant (Inclined Plane)
Levers
Pulleys
Wheel and Axle
3.3.2: compare the force needed to lift or move a load manually with the effort required to lift it using a simple machine
Ants on a Slant (Inclined Plane)
Levers
Pulleys
Wheel and Axle
3.4.1: differentiate between the position of the fulcrum, the load, and the effort when using a lever to accomplish a particular task
3.4.2: design the most efficient lever to accomplish a given task
3.5.1: compare the force needed to lift a load using a single pulley system with that needed to lift it using a multiple pulley system, and predict the effect of adding another pulley on the load-lifting capacity
3.5.2: design a system of machines to solve a task
4.3.2: draw a conclusion, based on evidence gathered through research and observation, about the patterns of air and/or water flow that result when two air or water masses of different temperature meet
4.4.2: relate the constant circulation of water on Earth to the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation
4.5.1: compile and display weather data collected over a period of time in table and/or graph format, and identify or suggest explanations for patterns or discrepancies in the data
