| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CC-1.III.2d. | Describe how plants and people need, use, and receive water. |
| 2 | CC-2.III.1 | Investigate relationships between plants and animals and how living things change during their lives. |
| 2 | CC-2.III.1a. | Observe and describe relationships between plants and animals. |
| 2 | CC-2.III.2c. | Describe how weather affects people and animals. |
| 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). |
| 3 | SC-3.III.2c. | Compare the relative effects of forces of different strengths on an object (e.g., strong wind affects an object differently than a breeze). |
| 4 | SC-4.II.1d. | Compare the components of severe weather phenomena to normal weather conditions (e.g., thunderstorm with lightning and high winds compared to rainstorm with rain showers and breezes). |
| 4 | SC-4.III.2 | how the processes of weathering and erosion change and move materials that become soil. |
| 4 | SS-4.I.2e. | Examine the interactions between physical geography and public health and safety (e.g. inversions, earthquakes, flooding, fire). |
| 5 | SC-5.II | Students will understand that volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering, and erosion reshape Earths 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.2d. | Cite examples of how technology is used to predict volcanoes and earthquakes. |
| 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.V.1d. | Contrast inherited traits with traits and behaviors that are not inherited but may be learned or induced by environmental factors (e.g., cat purring to cat meowing to be let out of the house; the round shape of a willow is inherited, while leaning away fr |
| 5 | SC-5.V.2 | Describe how some characteristics could give a species a survival advantage in a particular environment. |
| 5 | SC-5.V.2c. | a particular physical attribute may provide an advantage for survival in one environment but not in another (e.g., heavy fur in arctic climates keep animals warm whereas in hot desert climates it would cause overheating; flippers on such anim |
| 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). |
