SCIENCE CURRICULUM Fifth Grade Strand: Earth Patterns, Cycles, and Change SOL 5.7 Understanding the Standard This standard focuses on the constantly changing nature of the Earth’s surface and builds on concepts learned in standards 4.6 and 4.8. Among the important ideas presented in this standard are the rock cycle, fossil evidence of change over time, energy from within the Earth that drives tectonic plate movement, shifting tectonic plates that cause earthquakes and volcanoes, weathering and erosion, and human interaction with the Earth’s surface. This standard can be related to several ideas found in science standard 5.6. It is intended that students will actively develop scientific investigation, reasoning, and logic skills (5.1) in the context of the key concepts presented in this standard. Essential Questions How does the earth’s surface change over time? How have fossils helped scientists understand earth’s geological history? How does the rock cycle compare to other natural cycles? (water cycle and life cycle) How do the physical characteristics of rocks help us to identify the three types? How are rock and mineral resources used in every day life? How do scientists determine the characteristics of the earth’s interior? Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students should be able to apply basic terminology (italic print in overview) to explain how the Earth surface is constantly changing. draw and label the rock cycle and describe the major processes and rock types involved. compare and contrast the origin of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. identify rock samples (granite, gneiss, slate, limestone, shale, sandstone, and coal), using a rock classification key. make plausible inferences about changes in the Earth over time based on fossil evidence. This includes the presence of fossils of organisms in sedimentary rocks of Virginia found in the Appalachians, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain/Tidewater. describe the structure of Earth in terms of its major layers — crust, mantle, and inner and outer cores — and how the Earth’s interior affects the surface. differentiate among the three types of plate tectonic boundaries (divergent, convergent, and sliding) and how these relate to the changing surface of the Earth and the ocean floor (5.6). compare and contrast the origin of earthquakes and volcanoes and how they affect the Earth’s surface. design an investigation to locate, chart, and report weathering and erosion at home and on the school grounds. Create a plan to solve erosion problems that may be found. differentiate between weathering and erosion. design an investigation to determine the amount and kinds of weathered rock material found in soil. describe how people change the Earth’s surface and how negative changes can be controlled.
