The Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science (OAS-S) are three-dimensional performance expectations representing the things students should know, understand, and be able to do to be proficient in science and engineering. Performance expectations are considered standards and include a science and engineering practice (indicated in blue and represent everyday skills of scientists and engineers), disciplinary core ideas (represented in orange and represent science ideas used by scientists and engineers), and crosscutting concepts (indicated in green and represent ways of thinking like scientists and engineers).

Each dimension in the OAS-S grows in complexity and sophistication across the grades. To learn more about the prior knowledge and skills students have developed (or future knowledge/skills) associated with that specific dimension, each section in the standard below is hyperlinked to that specific vertical learning progression page.

4th Grade (4) Energy
4.PS3.2 Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
Clarification Statement: Light, heat, sound, and electric currents transfer energy. Examples of this can include sound from a radio, light from a flashlight, the sun heating a window pane, and currents to electronic devices. When energy is transferred it can stay in the same form or change forms.
Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include quantitative measurements of energy or the difference between transferring and transforming energy.
Science and Engineering Practices	Disciplinary Core Ideas	Crosscutting Concepts
Planning and Carrying Out Investigations Make observations to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomena or test a design solutions.	Definitions of Energy Energy can be moved from place to place by moving objects or through sound, light, or electric currents. Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer Energy is present whenever there are moving objects, sound, light, or heat. When objects collide, energy can be transferred from one object to another, thereby changing their motion. In such collisions, some energy is typically also transferred to the surrounding air; as a result, the air gets heated and sound is produced. Light also transfers energy from place to place. Energy can also be transferred from place to place by electric currents, which can then be used locally to produce motion, sound, heat, or light.	Energy and Matter Energy can be transferred in various ways and between objects.
