Earth Science Grade Span 4.1a PreK-12 EU: Students will understand that all objects in the universe have discreet properties PreK-12 EQ: What are some observable properties of the objects in the universe and how do they affect each other? PreK-2 3-5 6-8 9-12 None at this level. None at this level. The properties of light are used to determine the structure and processes of the universe. ** (magnitude, distance, reflected) The matter of our Universe is a remnant from the Big Bang, which produced plasma of protons, neutrons and electrons. SWUT there is a connection between properties and process that occur on earth and in the universe. (connection between earth and physical sciences) SWUT where matter in the universe comes from and how matter is changed. Version 1.b 1 Earth Science Grade Span 4.1b PreK-12 EU: Students will understand that patterns, cycles and movement govern the universe. PreK-12 EQ: What are some observable patterns and cycles in the solar system and how does it affect life on earth? What evidence can be used to show the universe has changed over time? PreK -2 3-5 6-8 9-12 SWUT The sun can only be seen in the day but the moon can be seen sometimes in the day and in the night. SWUT The relationship of the planets and the sun in the solar system- (the sun is the central and largest body in the solar system, the Earth is the third planet from the sun) SWUT Gravity is the force that keeps most objects in the solar system in regular and predictable motion. ( Mass and distance.) The mathematical model helps to explain motion of the objects in the universe. There are more stars than anyone can count! Objects in the sky (sun, moon) SWUT what causes the have patterns of movement patterns of day and night.** and observable changes from day to day in time. Version 1.b Relative magnitude and position of the planets in the solar system SWUT Motion objects in the universe explain phenomena of the day, seasons, year, phases of the moon, and eclipses. SWUT mathematical models can be use to explain the motion of the objects in the universe. 2 Earth Science Grade Span 4.2a PreK-12 EU: Students will understand that the relationship between the earth and sun creates changes over time encompassing the water cycle, climate and weather and seasonal patterns. PreK-12 EQ: How does the sun create and affect the water cycle, climate and weather patterns on Earth? PreK -2 3-5 SWUT that the sun warms up SWUT Water moves in a air, land and water. Said cycle which is driven by the as?SWUT The sun helps keep sun. the Earth's surface warm, gives us light, and allows plants to grow. 6-8 9-12 SWUT The sun’s energy influences Earth’s systems. as well as the ocean as it stores large amounts of solar energy.( weather patterns, atmosphere, wind, ocean currents and the water cycle, etc.) Earth’s climate patterns and weather are governed by the transfer of heat energy between the atmosphere, land and oceans which affects weather related phenomena. Water can change from liquid to solid and go back and forth.(e.g. Freezing) Weather changes daily. There are patterns to temperature, rain (or snow) at different times of the year. Pattern to sun and moon in sky? Weather changes cyclically based on the seasons. Daily weather predictions are based on verity of data. from day to day and during the seasons, across the globe. The tilt of the earth on its axis in its relationship with the sun and how it causes the seasons and the affect it has on weather. (Is this addressed above) Scientists use tools for observing, recording, and predicting weather changes. The earth has an atmosphere made up of various gases. Version 1.b 3 Earth Science Grade Span 4.2b PreK-12 EU: Students will understand that there are forces that shape the Earth and the Earth is made up of basic materials. PreK-12 EQ: What evidence can be used to show the earth has changed over time? In what ways has Earth changed throughout its history? How do natural forces shape and change the Earth? What are the basic materials that make up the Earth and how have they changed over time? PreK -2 3-5 6-8 None at this level. SWUT the forces that shape the surface of the earth, some are fast and some are fast. (weathering, erosion, land slides, glaciers, etc.) The surface features of the earth are Internal heat sources which cause influenced by the movement of convection currents in the mantle tectonic plates. create tectonic movement resulting in plate collisions, mountain building, Structure of the Earth, (Outer Core, sea floor spreading, etc plate tectonics Inner Core Mantle and Crust/ Lithosphere ) SWUT Earth’s materials are solid rocks and soils. Compare similarities and differences of solids. Rocks have unique characteristics and are composed of variety of minerals SWUT the rock cycle provides evidence of the forces within the earth and the connection between different types of rock formations. Compare life in the present and life that was extinct (dinosaurs). SWUT they can compare life throughout earth’s history (similarities and differences of fossils ) There is evidence to show that the There are technologies used to date Earth can change slowly or quickly geological materials and events. over time causing effects to life and earth’s materials. SWUT early earth was very different from the earth today and that those changes allowed the development of life and life affected the continued changes of the earth. Version 1.b 9-12 4 Earth Science Grade Span 4.2c PreK-12 EU: Students will understand that humans depend on the earth for different resources and human activities can affect the earth’s systems. PreK-12 EQ: How has life changed the planet over time? How have humans influenced earth’s changes? PreK-2 3-5 6-8 9-12 Students will understand that Students will understand that Students will understand that Students will understand that natural resources are materials soils, air, water, and rocks are everyday life is made possible there are many sources of that we obtain from the living useful to humans because of by the available resources of the energy generation that may be and nonliving environment. their inherent properties. earth. exploited for human use. Students will understand that Students will understand that Students will understand that the Students will understand that reducing, reusing, and recycling human activity can cause actions that change the earth human sustainability requires of resources can extend their pollution of the land, air and have benefits and costs which continued efforts to responsibly uses. water, and small changes in can affect the balance in manage natural resources. behavior can reduce our ecosystems throughout the impact on the environment. planet.
