TFSD Unwrapped Standard Sixth Grade – Science Power Standard (s) Reference: Standard 5 - Earth Science State Standard: District Standard: Science BSIPS standard 5 Full Text of TFSD Power Standard: Hydrology: Students demonstrate - draw? Label a diagram? draw a chart? how energy transfer drives the hydrological cycle which affects the geochemical process. Meteorology: Students recognize – tell the teacher? write an essay? make a poster? the causes and effects of different weather patterns. Astronomy: Students classify stars, planets, satellites, and other stellar objects based upon astronomical properties. Geology: Students identify - list? Draw? the mechanisms of change on Earth which continually produce physical structures that demonstrate observable properties. Concepts: Need to know about (Nouns) Hydrology: evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, run-off, ground water, and water cycle Meteorology: convection, weather patterns, air currents, cirrus, cumulus, and stratus Astronomy: satellites (natural and man-made), asteroids, comets, meteoroids, meteorites, revolution, rotation. Geology: earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, rock cycle, igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, atmosphere, renewable and non-renewable resources. Skills: Be able to do (Verbs) Hydrology: Demonstrate energy transference of hydrological cycle. Explain the water cycle and describe the relationship to weather and climate. Illustrate how water is a primary agent of geochemical processes. Compare water and location and relate how it limits the distribution of human population. Meteorology: Analyze and predict weather patterns. Identify cloud types (cirrus, stratus, cumulus) and explain relationship to weather changes. Astronomy: Classify stars, planets, satellites, and other stellar objects. Geology: Classify physical structures to explain how methods of energy transfer create these structures. 1 06/08/06 Analyze and illustrate how material moves through the rock cycle. Explain the interactions between the solid earth, oceans, atmosphere, and organisms. Identifying Big Ideas from Unwrapped Standards: 1. Water directly impacts organisms, weather/climate, and geochemical processes. 2. Weather patterns can be predicted by air temperature and produce specific cloud types. 3. Motion, size, rotation, revolution and distance are properties of stellar objects. 4. The changing systems of Earth continually produce physical structures that demonstrate observable properties. Essential Questions from Big Ideas to Guide Instruction and Assessment: 1. How does water affect the earth’s systems? 2. How are air temperature and cloud types relate to weather? 3. How do scientists classify stellar objects? 4. What are the observable geological structures that demonstrate Earth’s continuous cycle?
