West Virginia College- and Career-Readiness Standards for Science (Policy 2520.3C). Every lesson comes with a printable teacher guide and student sheet.
Physical Sciences
S.1.1 Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
Lessons: Sound: Can You See a Sound? (Can you see a sound?, Can a string carry your voice?, How do you make a high note or a low note?)
Practice: Sound: Can You See a Sound? workbook · Grade 4 Sound: Vibrations, Pitch and Echoes
S.1.3 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.
Lessons: Earth and Sky at Home (Where do rainbows come from?) (partly) · Light and Shadows (Why does my shadow follow me?, What can light go through?)
Practice: Earth and Sky at Home workbook · Light and Shadows workbook · Bouncing Light: Mirrors, Water and Colour workbook · Grade 4 Light and Colour
S.1.4 Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
Lessons: Sound: Can You See a Sound? (Can a string carry your voice?)
Practice: Sound: Can You See a Sound? workbook
Life Sciences
S.1.6 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.
Lessons: Like Parent, Like Baby? Traits and Families (Do baby animals look like their parents?, Why don't puppies from the same parents look the same?)
Practice: Like Parent, Like Baby? Traits and Families workbook
Earth and Space Sciences
S.1.8 Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
Lessons: Light and Shadows (Why is my shadow long in the morning?)
Practice: Light and Shadows workbook · Stars and the Night Sky workbook
Engineering, Technology and Applications of Science
S.1.11 Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
Lessons: Build It, Launch It (Can you drop an egg without breaking it?, What makes a paper plane fly farthest?)
Practice: Build It, Launch It workbook · Monsoon Science: Rain, Sun and the Nón Lá workbook
S.1.12 Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
Lessons: Test It, Choose It: Materials (Which material keeps the rain out?, Which hat keeps the sun off?) (partly) · Sound: Can You See a Sound? (Can a string carry your voice?)
Practice: Test It, Choose It: Materials workbook · Sound: Can You See a Sound? workbook
