Investigation 4

Terms in this table:

• “Investigation” is the number of the investigation
• “Materials Concept Code” is a reference number based on the science concepts and processes listed in the Overview section of the teacher’s manual
• “Materials Concept” is the text of the science concept or processes listed in the teacher’s manual
• “Indicator Code” is a reference number based on Cumulative Progress Indicators from the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (2002)
• “Framework Indicator Text” is the text of the progress indicator; the conceptual “strand” for the indicator is in parentheses

Investigation	Materials Concept Code	Materials Concept	Indicator Code	Framework Indicator Text
4	c10	Heat is kinetic energy of atoms and molecules.	5.01.8.B.3	3. Collect, organize, and interpret the data that result from experiments. (B. Inquiry and Problem Solving)
4	c11	The Sun is the major source of energy that heats the atmosphere.	5.07.6.B.1	1. Recognize that heat flows through materials or across space from warmer objects to cooler ones. (B. Energy Transformations)
4	c11	The Sun is the major source of energy that heats the atmosphere.	5.07.8.B.1	1. Recognize that the sun is a major source of the Earth's energy and that solar energy includes visible, infrared and, ultraviolet radiation. (B. Energy Transformations)
4	c12	Energy moves from one material to another by radiation and conduction.	5.07.8.B.3	3. Describe how heat can be conducted through materials or transferred across space by radiation and know that if the material is a fluid, convection currents may aid the transfer of heat. (B. Energy Transformations)
4	p09	Collect and analyze temperature data measuring the heating and cooling of different earth materials.	5.01.8.B.3	3. Collect, organize, and interpret the data that result from experiments. (B. Inquiry and Problem Solving)
4	p10	Describe heat transfer in terms of molecular activity.	5.06.8.A.2	2. Recognize that the phase of matter is determined by the arrangement and motion of atoms and molecules and that the motion of these particles is related to the energy of the system. (A. Structure and Properties of Matter)
4	p11	Describe how the atmosphere is heated.	5.06.8.A.2	2. Recognize that the phase of matter is determined by the arrangement and motion of atoms and molecules and that the motion of these particles is related to the energy of the system. (A. Structure and Properties of Matter)
