Students will explore how living things interact with their environment, including how organisms change over time. They will also discover how all substances are made of atoms and it is the interactions of different types of atoms that lead to different chemical and physical properties. Students will explore the transfer of energy and the impact it has on motion. Students will begin to understand that scientists make observations, generate and test ideas by gathering data to understand, explain and develop knowledge about the natural world. |
