Extraction

Information Transfer

4th Grade

Patterns can be used to transfer information.

• Define a simple design problem that can be solved through the development of an object, tool, process, or system and includes several criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.

• Compare and contrast data collected by different groups in order to discuss similarities and differences in their findings.

• Analyze data to refine a problem statement or the design of a proposed object, tool, or process.

• Use data to evaluate and refine design solutions.

• Use evidence (e.g., measurements, observations, patterns) to construct or support an explanation or design a solution to a problem.

• Generate and compare multiple solutions to a problem based on how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the design solution.

• Read and comprehend grade appropriate complex texts and/or other reliable media to summarize and obtain scientific and technical ideas and describe how they are supported by evidence.

• Combine information in written text with that contained in corresponding tables, diagrams, and/or charts to support the engagement in other scientific and/or engineering practices.

• Students identify similarities and differences in order to sort and classify natural objects and designed products. They identify patterns related to time, including simple rates of change and cycles, and to use these patterns to make predictions.

• Patterns can encode, send, receive and decode information.

• Different solutions need to be tested in order to determine which of them best solves the problem, given the criteria and the constraints.
