| 3 | SC:3-3.8 | Illustrate changes in Earths surface that are due to slow processes (including weathering, erosion, and deposition) and changes that are due to rapid processes (including landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods, and earthquakes). |

| 4 | SC:4-2.5 | Explain how an organisms patterns of behavior are related to its environment (including the kinds and the number of other organisms present, the availability of food and other resources, and the physical characteristics of the environment). |
| 4 | SC:4-4.4 | Summarize the conditions and effects of severe weather phenomena (including thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes) and related safety concerns. |
| 5 | SC:5-3.1 | natural processes (including weathering, erosion, deposition, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods) affect Earths oceans and land in constructive and destructive ways. |
| 5 | SC:5-3.4 | waves, currents, tides, and storms affect the geologic features of the ocean shore zone (including beaches, barrier islands, estuaries, and inlets). |
| K | SC:K-4.1 | Identify weather changes that occur from day to day. |
