Use evidence, data, and investigation to describe matter and its properties; apply learned understandings about properties to identify and explain materials suitable for a given purpose.
Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. [Engineering] [ESE]
Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object.
Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot.

Through project-based learning, synthesize information from multiple sources about local ecological, social, and economic systems to communicate and act upon solutions for environmental problems in the community with partners, including tribes.
Research multiple perspectives to understand and communicate ideas about how money, society, and the environment are connected to environmental problems and solutions found in class, at school, at home, and in local tribal communities.
Use the school grounds and campus to identify connections between the natural world and human-made structures, then gather, analyze, and draw conclusions from data gathered during field-based learning.
Apply knowledge and skills to select a cost-effective approach to solve an environmental problem among many alternative solutions, then take individual or collective action to authentically communicate about or implement their solution.
