Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 4||Earth and Space Science||Earth and Human Activity|||Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 4||Physical Science||Energy |||Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. [Examples : electric circuits that convert electrical energy into motion energy of a vehicle, light, or sound; and, a passive solar heater that converts light into heat. Examples of constraints: materials, cost, or design time.] ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 4||Physical Science||Energy |||Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment||Next Generation Science Standards||Middle School||Earth and Space Science||Earth and Human Activity|||Design, evaluate, & refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment & biodiversity.||Next Generation Science Standards||High School||Life Science||Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics|||Design, build, & refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.||Next Generation Science Standards||High School||Physical Science||Energy
