What are we learning?We have four different units in Science: Observable Patterns in the Sky (4.4.1, 4.4.2), Organisms Functioning in Their Environment (4.1.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.1.4), Energy Transfer (4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4), and Wave Patterns (4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3)
Observable Patterns in the Sky Unit Vocabularyatmosphere: the layers of gas that surround Earth, other planets, or starsaxis: the imaginary line on which an object rotates (e.g., Earth’s axis runs through Earth between the North Pole and the South Pole); an imaginary straight line that runs through a body; a reference to the line in a coordinate system or graph constellation: a star pattern identified and named as a definite group; usually thought of as forming certain shapes or figures in a specific region of the sky equator: an imaginary circle around Earth’s surface located between the poles and a plane perpendicular to its axis of rotation that divides it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres galaxy: a large collection of stars, gases, and dust that are part of the universe (e.g., the Milky Way galaxy) bound together by gravitational forces gravitation: a force of attraction between two masses gravity: the observed effect of the force of gravitation Energy Transfer Unit Vocabularyenergy-the ability to cause change in matter. kinetic energy-energy caused by the movement of objects
