Alignment to Standards for UT
| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CC-1.III.3c. | Identify map and globe symbols (e.g., cardinal directions, compass rose, mountains, rivers, lakes). |
| 2 | CC-2.III.4a. | Identify and use information on a map or globe (ie., map key or legend, compass rose, physical features, continents, oceans). |
| 2 | CC-2.III.4c. | Locate continents and oceans on a map or globe (ie., North America, Antarctica, Australia, Africa, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean). |
| 4 | SC-4.III.2 | how the processes of weathering and erosion change and move materials that become soil. |
| 4 | SC-4.III.2a. | processes of physical weathering that break down rocks at Earths surface (i.e., water movement, freezing, plant growth, wind). |
| 4 | SC-4.III.2b. | Distinguish between weathering (i.e., wearing down and breaking of rock surfaces) and erosion (i.e., the movement of materials). |
| 5 | SC-5.II | Students will understand that volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering, and erosion reshape Earths surface. |
| 5 | SC-5.II.1 | weathering and erosion change Earthês surface. |
| 5 | SC-5.II.1a. | the objects, processes, or forces that weather and erode Earthês surface (e.g., ice, plants, animals, abrasion, gravity, water, wind). |
| 5 | SC-5.II.1b. | geological features (e.g., valleys, canyons, buttes, arches) are changed through erosion (e.g., waves, wind, glaciers, gravity, running water). |
| 5 | SC-5.II.2a. | Identify specific geological features created by volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift. |
| 5 | SC-5.II.2b. | Give examples of different landforms that are formed by volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift (e.g., mountains, valleys, new lakes, canyons). |
| 5 | SC-5.II.2c. | volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift change landforms. |
| 5 | SC-5.II.3 | Relate the building up and breaking down of Earthês surface over time to the various physical land features. |
| 5 | SC-5.II.3b. | role of deposition in the processes that change Earthês surface. |
| K | CC-K.III.3a. | Recognize that maps and globes are symbols for actual places. |
| K | CC-K.III.3c. | Explore basic map and globe directions and characteristics (e.g., top, bottom, right, left, land, water, Arctic Ocean, Antarctica). |
