| 4 | SC.4.E.6.2 | Identify the physical properties of common earth-forming minerals, including hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and streak color, and recognize the role of minerals in the formation of rocks. |
| 4 | SC.4.E.6.4 | basic differences between physical weathering (breaking down of rock by wind, water, ice, temperature change, and plants) and erosion (movement of rock by gravity, wind, water, and ice). |
| 4 | SC.4.L.16.3 | Recognize that animal behaviors may be shaped by heredity and learning. |
| 4 | SC.4.L.17.2 | Explain that animals, including humans, cannot make their own food and that when animals eat plants or other animals, the energy stored in the food source is passed to them. |
| 4 | SC.4.P.9.1 | Identify some familiar changes in materials that result in other materials with different characteristics, such as decaying animal or plant matter, burning, rusting, and cooking. |
| 5 | SC.5.E.7.4 | various forms of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, and hail), making connections to the weather in a particular place and time. |
| 5 | SC.5.E.7.5 | some of the weather-related differences, such as temperature and humidity, are found among different environments, such as swamps, deserts, and mountains. |
| 5 | SC.5.E.7.6 | characteristics (temperature and precipitation) of different climate zones as they relate to latitude, elevation, and proximity to bodies of water. |
| 5 | SC.5.L.14.2 | Compare and contrast the function of organs and other physical structures of plants and animals, including humans, for example: some animals have skeletons for support -- some with internal skeletons others with exoskeletons -- while some plants have stem |
