Formulate a question about microorganisms that can be answered with a student experiment. Make a hypothesis for a question about microorganisms based on observations and prior knowledge. Plan and carry out an investigation about microorganisms. Describe in writing how microorganisms serve as decomposers in the environment. Algae, fungi, microorganism, decomposer, single-celled, organism, bacteria, protozoan Science Benchmark Heat, light, and sound are all forms of energy that move in waves.
Heat moves through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Visible light can be produced, reflected, refracted, and separated. Sound is created by vibration. The pitch is determined by the size, shape, and vibration rate of the sound source. Students will understand properties and behavior of heat, light, and sound. Investigate the movement of heat between objects by conduction, convection, and radiation.
