10. Grade 4 - Fair Game Benchmarks Prior Knowledge (Fair Game): Items may require the student to apply scientific knowledge described in NGSSS benchmarks from lower grades; however, the benchmarks from lower grades will not be assessed in isolation. FCAT 2.0 will assess content taught in lower grades although not retaught in 5th. 3rd Nine Weeks Big Idea 16: Heredity and Reproduction • SC.4.L.16.1 Flowering Plant Reproduction (AA as SC.3.L.14.1) • SC.4.L.16.4 Life Cycles of Florida’s Plants and Animals AA Big idea 17: Interdependence • SC.4.L.17.3 Flow of Energy AA 4th Nine Weeks Big Idea 6: Earth Structures • SC.4.E.6.2 Properties of Minerals AA • SC.4.E.6.1 Types of Rocks • SC.4.P.8.1 Measure and compare objects(rocks) based on properties • SC.4.E.6.5 Tools and Technology • SC.4.E.6.4 Weathering and Erosion AA • SC.4.E.6.3 Natural Resources AA • SC.4.E.6.6 Florida’s Natural Resources Big Idea 5: Earth in Space and Time • SC.4.E.5.4 Relationship among Earth, Moon, Sun & Stars AA • SC.4.E.5.1 Patterns of Stars  • SC.4.E.5.3 Earth’s Movement • SC.4.E.5.2 Phases of the Moon Department of Mathematics and Science

11. Common Core State Standards Connections • Currently we continue to use the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS); however, during teaching and learning, whenever applicable connections to Common Core State Standards in Language Arts and Mathematics need to be established. • Common Core benchmarks are aligned to Science courses in the M-DCPS Pacing Guides • All benchmarks should be taught since they are foundational for the next grade level.
