CT - Grades 3-5 Core Scientific Inquiry, Literacy and Numeracy
SCIENTIFIC LITERACY: Scientific literacy includes speaking, listening, presenting, interpreting, reading and writing about science.
B INQ. 2 - Seek relevant information in books, magazines and electronic media.
3.3 – Earth materials have different physical and chemical properties.
B5. Describe the physical properties of rocks and relate them to their potential uses.
B6. Relate the properties of rocks to the possible environmental conditions during their formation.
4.3 - Water has a major role in shaping the Earth's surface.
B12. Describe how the sun’s energy impacts the water cycle.
B13. Describe the role of water in erosion and river formation.
MA – Earth and Space Science, Grades 3 – 5
Earth's History
12. Give examples of how the surface of the earth changes due to slow processes such as erosion and weathering, and rapid processes such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.
MA – Physical Sciences (Chemistry & Physics), Grades 3 – 5
States of Matter
3. Describe how water can be changed from one state to another by adding or taking away heat.
NY – Standard 4 – Science (Elementary)
Physical Setting
2. Many of the phenomena that we observe on Earth involve interactions among components of air, water, and land.
Students:
• describe the relationships among air, water, and land on Earth.
The Living Environment
6. Plants and animals depend on each other and their physical environment.
Students:
• describe the relationship of the sun as an energy source for living and nonliving cycles.
CT - Grades 6-8 Core Scientific Inquiry, Literacy and Numeracy
7.3 - Landforms are the result of the interaction of constructive and destructive forces over time.
C19. Explain how glaciation, weathering and erosion create and shape valleys and floodplains.
MA – Life Science (Biology), Grades 6 – 8
Changes in Ecosystems Over Time
17. Identify ways in which ecosystems have changed throughout geologic time in response to physical conditions, interactions among organisms, and the actions of humans. Describe how changes may be catastrophes such as volcanic eruptions or ice storms.
NY – Standard 4 – Science (Intermediate)
Physical Setting
2. Many of the phenomena that we observe on Earth involve interactions among components of air, water, and land.
Students:
• explain how the atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (water), and lithosphere (land) interact, evolve, and change.
5. Energy and matter interact through forces that result in changes in motion.
Students:
• observe, describe, and compare effects of forces (gravity, electric current, and magnetism) on the motion of objects.
