5th Grade Earth Science
___________ Quarter
Grade Level Expectation:
1. Earth and Sun provide a diversity of renewable and nonrenewable resources
Standard 3: Earth Science
Content Evidence Outcomes
3.1a Develop and communicate a
scientific explanation addressing a
question of local relevance about
resources generated by the Sun or
Earth
3.1b Analyze and interpret a variety of
data to understand the origin,
utilization, and concerns
associated with natural resources
Students should know and be
able to do:
Instructional & Assessment
Planning:
Generate a list of local resources
provided by the Sun and Earth (wind,
solar power, mining, drilling, geothermal,
etc.)
Differentiate between renewable and
nonrenewable resources (solar vs.
mining)
Identify and describe natural resources found in nature and valuable to
humans(water, fossil fuels, wood,
minerals)
Understand the origin (where they’re
found), utilization (how they’re used), and
concerns (depletion, pollution,
transportation) associated with natural
resources

5th Grade Earth Science
___________ Quarter
Grade Level Expectation:
3. Weather conditions change because of the uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the Sun’s energy. Weather
changes are measured by differences in temperature, air pressure, wind and water in the atmosphere and
type of precipitation
Standard 3: Earth Science
Content Evidence Outcomes
3.3a Develop and communicate an
evidence-based scientific
explanation for changes in
weather conditions
3.3b Gather, analyze, and interpret data
such as temperature, air pressure,
wind, and humidity in relation to
daily weather conditions
3.3c Describe weather conditions
based on data collected using a
variety of weather tools
3.3d Use data collection tools and
measuring devices to gather,
organize, and analyze data such as
temperature, air pressure, wind,
and humidity in relation to daily
weather conditions
