Generate resourceDefine a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
Generate resourceGenerate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
Generate resourcePlan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
Generate resourceIdentify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
Generate resourceMake observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.
Generate resourceAnalyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features.
Generate resourceObtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.
Generate resourceGenerate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.
Generate resourceConstruct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Generate resourceUse 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.
Generate resourceUse evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
Generate resourceMake observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
Generate resourceAsk questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
Generate resourceApply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
Generate resourceDevelop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
Generate resourceDevelop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.
Generate resourceGenerate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
Generate resourceCreate programs using a programming language that includes sequences, loops, conditionals,, and variables that utilize mathematics operations to manipulate values in order to solve a problem or express an idea.
Generate resourceDecompose a large problem into smaller, manageable sub-problems to facilitate the program development process.
Generate resourceModify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one’s own work, to develop or add more advanced features (grade-level appropriate).
Generate resourceUse an iterative process to plan the development if a program by including others’ perspectives and considering user preferences while solving simple problems.

Generate resourceCreate and debug a program or algorithm that includes sequencing, repetition, and variables in a programming language
Generate resourceCommunicate and explain program development to peers and adults using comments, presentations, and demonstrations
Generate resourceCreate programs that use variables to store and modify grade-appropriate data.
Generate resourceDescribe how internal and external parts of computing devices function to form a system.
Generate resourceIdentify and describe a variety of ways computer hardware and software work together as a system to accomplish a task, using appropriate technical terminology (e.g., input, output, processors, sensors, storage).
Generate resourceIdentify, using appropriate technical terminology, simple hardware and software problems that may occur during everyday use, discuss problems with peers and adults, and apply various strategies for solving these problems (e.g., rebooting the device, checking the power, forced shutdown of an application, running anti-virus).
Generate resourceOrganize and present collected data in a variety of visual formats to emphasize particular aspects or parts of the data set to make interpretation easier.
Generate resourceDiscuss the potential accuracy of conclusions and predictions based on the adequacy of the data set (number of data).
Generate resourceStore information in various formats for specific purposes (e.g., file type, file size, file compression).
Generate resourceSummarize how different technologies created by people from diverse backgrounds have contributed to computing and helped to change the world.
Generate resourceBrainstorm solutions to improve accessibility/usability and ways computing could be improved to increase accessibility for all users.
Generate resourceDevelop a code of conduct, explain, and practice grade-level appropriate behavior and responsibilities while participating online. Identify and report inappropriate behavior.
Generate resourceDiscuss ways existing devices or computational products can be improved by collaborating with peers to gain their diverse perspectives.
Generate resourceObserve intellectual property law and give appropriate credit when using resources.
Generate resourceIdentify problems that relate to unsecure networks and inappropriate use of computing devices and potential subsequent consequences
Generate resourceSummarize how information is sent and received over physical and wireless pathways (e.g., information is deconstructed in smaller pieces called packets, transmitted to final destination, and reassembled).
