4-PS4: Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer
4-PS4-1: Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
4-LS1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
4-LS1-1: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Cell Types
Circulatory System
Digestive System
Flower Pollination
Senses
4-LS1-2: 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.
