2014 Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science 

4-PS3-1 Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.   
4-PS3-2 Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. 
4-PS3-3 Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.  
4-PS3-4 Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
4-PS4-1 Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and to show that waves can cause objects to move.   
4-PS4-2 Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen. 
4-PS4-3 Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
4-LS1-1 Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
4-LS1-2 Use a model to describe that animals’ receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways. 
4-ESS1-1 Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
4-ESS2-1 Plan and conduct investigations on the effects of water, ice, wind, and vegetation on the relative rate of weathering and erosion
4-ESS2-2 Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features. 
4-ESS3-1 Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from renewable and non-renewable resources and how their uses affect the environment. 
4-ESS3-2 Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.
