Ability to compare to numbers using greater than, less than, and equal to.
Ability to read and write larger whole numbers using numerals, words and in expanded form.

Social Studies:

Science:

PS3.A: Definitions of energy- Energy can be moved from place to place by moving objects or through sound, light, or electric currents.

PS3.B: Conservation of energy and energy transfer- Energy can also be transferred from place to place by electric currents, which can then be used locally to produce motion, sound heat, or light. The currents may have been produced to begin with by transforming the energy of motion into electrical energy.

PS3.D: Energy in chemical processes and everyday life – The expression “produce energy” typically refers to the conversion of stored energy into a desired form for practical use.
