Q3W1 (1/9 – 1/13)

MATH:     MA.4.1.3     MA.4.1.4

• Identify and generate equivalent fractions, including fractions greater than one. Describe how the numerator and denominator are affected when the equivalent fraction is created.
• Plot, order, and compare fractions, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one, with different numerators and different denominators.

SCIENCE:     SC.4. P. 10.1        SC.4. P.10.2

• Observe and describe some basic forms of energy including light, heat, sound, electrical, and energy of motion (mechanical).
• Investigate and describe that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change.

The student will:

• Draw a model of equivalent fractions
• Use multiplication and division to find equivalent fractions
• Compare two fractions using benchmarks
• Compare fractions that have the same numerators or the same denominators
• Review how light travels in a straight path until interrupted by an object.
• Review how light passes through other objects (transparent, translucent, opaque).
• Review how light reflects, bends, or absorbs.
• Identify these forms of energy in their life and in the natural world.
• Compare and contrast these types of energy
• Investigate and describe how energy can cause motion (e.g., moving water can turn a water wheel to make hydropower, wind can move sand across the beach or sail a model boat, solar energy can power a model car).
• Investigate and describe how energy can create change in matter (e.g., heat energy can melt ice, moving water can make rocks smooth, light can keep food warm).
• Explain the relationship between energy and motion.
