Grade 4: Rocks, Minerals and Erosion - Earth’s Crust - Grade 7 Science
Specific Learning Outcomes Grade 4: Rocks, Minerals and Erosion Overview
The study of rocks and minerals introduces students to geology. By examining various rocks and minerals found in the Earth's crust,
students learn about their characteristics and properties. These characteristics and properties determine how these rocks and minerals are
used by humans. Students discover the role rocks play in forming soil (see Grade 3, Cluster 4: Soils in the Environment) and in
providing us with information about Earth's history. Students advance their understanding of the changing landscape by becoming aware
of how wind, water, and ice continue to reshape it through erosion. This leads students to explore ways in which humans can adapt to
and prevent or make changes in the landscape. Vocabulary Include: rock, mineral, characteristic, property, scratch test, streak test,
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, fossil, organism, extinct, soil formation, erosion, natural phenomena
Specific Learning Outcomes Grade 7: Earth's Crust Overview
In this cluster, students investigate Earth’s geology, including rock and mineral formation, changes in the landscape over time, and
human use of geological resources. Students describe processes involved in the location, extraction, processing, and recycling of
geological resources found in Manitoba and Canada. Students recognize that soil is an important natural resource and they discuss the
importance of soil conservation. Students identify environmental, social, and economic factors that should be considered in making
informed decisions about land use. They examine theories explaining the Earth’s geology, and recognize the role of technology in the
development of new scientific theories. Specialized careers involving the science and technology of the Earth’s crust are also explored.
Vocalulary - Include: crust, mantle, outer core, inner core, weathering (physical, biological and chemical) , erosion, rock cycle, fossil
fuel, geothermal energy, continental drift theory, theory of plate tectonics

Specific Learning Outcomes
Grade 7: Earth's Crust
Overview
In this cluster, students investigate Earth’s geology, including rock and mineral formation, changes in the landscape
over time, and human use of geological resources. Students describe processes involved in the location, extraction,
processing, and recycling of geological resources found in Manitoba and Canada. Students recognize that soil is an
important natural resource and they discuss the importance of soil conservation. Students identify environmental,
social, and economic factors that should be considered in making informed decisions about land use. They examine
theories explaining the Earth’s geology, and recognize the role of technology in the development of new scientific
theories. Specialized careers involving the science and technology of the Earth’s crust are also explored. Students
