4th Grade “I Can Statements” Unit 1 Heat, Electricity and Magnetism Forms of Energy I can identify heat as a form of energy. I can identify electricity as a form of energy. Energy and Temperature I can find (determine) the temperature of a substance in degrees Celsius (and Fahrenheit) by using a thermometer. I can demonstrate how the temperature of a substance increases when heat energy is added. I can describe how heat energy is produced when a substance burns. I can describe how heat is produced by friction. I can describe how heat is produced by electric current flowing through materials. Electric Circuits I can describe the components of a complete circuit.(power source, conductor, bulb, motor or appliance) I can describe how energy is transferred in an electrical circuit. I can describe how energy is changed in an electrical circuit. I can demonstrate how electric current creates a magnetic field using an electromagnet. Properties of Matter I can identify good conductors of electricity. I can identify poor conductors of electricity. I can identify good conductors of heat. I can identify poor conductors of heat. Magnets I can demonstrate the shape of a magnetic field using iron filings and a magnet. I can demonstrate how a stronger magnet can attract more magnetic objects. I can demonstrate that the distance from a magnet can affect the strength of attraction. Unit 2 Matter Measurement of Physical Properties I can identify the difference between weight and mass. I can measure the weight of an object in grams or kilograms using a spring scale. I can measure the mass of an object in grams or kilograms using a balance. I can measure the volume of a liquid in milliliters and liters using a graduated cylinder and a measuring cup. States of Matter/Changes in Matter I can identify the difference between a solid, liquid, and gas.Perhaps this statement should include adding properties of these such as definite shape, shape of container, volume, etc. I can describe how heating can change a solid to a liquid. I can describe how heating can change a liquid to a gas. I can describe how cooling can change a gas to a liquid. I can describe how cooling can change a liquid to a solid. Unit 3 Relationships of Living Things Life Requirements I can identify what a plant needs for growth and repair Determine is the verb used in clarification…determine would be looking at a plant or animal and deciding what they are missing to survive I can identify what an animal needs for growth and repair. Survival I can identify differences in organisms of the same species. I can identify different characteristics of plants that help them survive and reproduce. I can identify different characteristics of animals that help them survive and reproduce. Interactions I can identify the source of energy for almost all life on Earth. (sun) I can identify how all animals depend on plants. I can identify a consumer. I can identify a producer. I can identify a decomposer. (maybe change wording to describing what decomposers do…describe is not in the clarification) Changed Environmental Effects I can explain how changes in the environment can affect the survival of plants and animals. Fossils I can explain how fossils provide evidence of change that has occurred on Earth. I can explain how fossils are samples of plants and animals that existed long ago. I can compare the similarities between fossils of early life forms and organisms that exist today. I can contrast the differences between fossils of early life forms and organisms that exist today. Unit 4 – Sun, Moon and Earth Characteristics of Objects in the sky. I can identify the moon as the closest object in the sky to the Earth. I can identify the sun as the closest star to Earth. I can identify the moon as a natural satellite of Earth. I can identify the Earth as a natural satellite of the sun. I can explain why the Earth can support life as we know it, but the moon cannot. I can compare characteristics of the Earth, sun and moon. I can contrast characteristics of the Earth, sun and moon. Patterns of Objects in the Sky I can describe the orbit of the Earth. I can describe how the Earth experiences one year. I can identify how long a year is and why we have leap year. I can describe the rotation of the Earth in its axis. I can identify how long a day is on Earth. I can explain why we experience day and night on Earth. I can describe the revolution of the moon around the Earth. I can explain why we see the moon. I can observe the changes in the moon from day to day. I can identify the 8 moon phases. I can describe how the sun appears to move across the sky from east to west every day. I can describe how the path of the sun changes slowly with the seasons. I can describe how the moon also appears to move across the sky from east to west on a daily basis.
