Description
This is an entire 4th grade science unit on physical science. The lessons cover the following concepts:
- Energy (sound, light, heat motion) and energy transfer
- The relationship between an object's speed, its energy, and how energy changes during collisions
- Properties of light and sound waves
- Properties of matter, magnetism and simple machines
This unit contains seven complete lessons, each last about 60 minutes of instructional time (can be broken into 30-45 minute periods). Each of the seven lessons have the following (editable) material:
- Complete teacher lesson plan
- Slides for students to see (corresponding directly to lesson plan)
- Student worksheet (to follow along with lesson plan)
- Exit ticket/assessment piece for each lesson

NGSS4-PS4-2
Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen. Assessment does not include knowledge of specific colors reflected and seen, the cellular mechanisms of vision, or how the retina works.
NGSS4-PS3-4
Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. Examples of devices could include electric circuits that convert electrical energy into motion energy of a vehicle, light, or sound; and, a passive solar heater that converts light into heat. Examples of constraints could include the materials, cost, or time to design the device. Devices should be limited to those that convert motion energy to electric energy or use stored energy to cause motion or produce light or sound.
NGSS4-PS3-3
Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide. Emphasis is on the change in the energy due to the change in speed, not on the forces, as objects interact. Assessment does not include quantitative measurements of energy.
