I. Content and Standards
Geology
Core Knowledge® Content
Grade 4
Science
Colorado Grade Level Expectations & Evidence Outcomes
Grade 4 - Science
Physical Science, Life Science, Earth Systems Science
The Earth’s Layers
Crust, mantle, core (outer core and inner core)
Science 6.3.1.a: Gather, analyze, and communicate an evidence-based
explanation for the complex interaction between Earth’s constructive and
destructive forces
Movement of crustal plates
Science 5.3.2.a: Analyze and interpret data identifying ways Earth’s surface is
constantly changing through a variety of processes and forces such as plate
tectonics, erosion, deposition, solar influences, climate, and human activity
-
Earthquakes Faults, San Andreas fault Measuring
intensity: seismograph and Richter scale Tsunamis
-
Volcanoes:
Science 7.3.1.c: Use maps to locate likely geologic “hot spots”, using evidence of
earthquakes and volcanic activity
Science 7.3.1.c: Use maps to locate likely geologic “hot spots”, using evidence of
earthquakes and volcanic activity
Magma
Lava and lava flow
Active, dormant, or extinct
Famous volcanoes: Vesuvius, Krakatoa, Mount St.
Helens
National Park)
Hot springs and geysers: Old Faithful (in Yellowstone
Science 5.3.2.a: Analyze and interpret data identifying ways Earth’s surface is
constantly changing through a variety of processes and forces such as plate
tectonics, erosion, deposition, solar influences, climate, and human activity
-
Theories of how the continents and oceans were
Science 7.3.1.b: Identify, interpret, and explain models of plates motions on
Earth
formed: Pangaea and continental drift
How Mountains Are Formed
-
Volcanic mountains, folded mountains, fault-block
Science 7.3.1.a: Gather, analyze, and communicate data that explains Earth’s
plates, plate motions, and the results of plate motions
mountains, dome-shaped mountains
-
Undersea mountain peaks and trenches (Mariana
-
Formation and characteristics of metamorphic,
Science 7.3.1.a: Gather, analyze, and communicate data that explains Earth’s
plates, plate motions, and the results of plate motions
Trench)
Rocks
Science 3.3.1.c: Utilize a variety of media sources to collect and analyze data
around Earth’s materials and the processes by which they are formed
igneous, and sedimentary rock
Weathering and Erosion
-
-
-
Physical and chemical weathering
Science 3.3.1.b: Use evidence to develop a scientific explanation about one or
more process that break down and/or combine Earth’s materials
Weathering and erosion by water, wind, and glaciers
Science 3.3.1.b: Use evidence to develop a scientific explanation about one or
more process that break down and/or combine Earth’s materials
The formation of soil: topsoil, subsoil, bedrock
Science 3.3.1.a: Investigate and identify two or more ways that Earth’s
materials can be broken down and/or combined in different ways such as
minerals into rocks, rock cycle, formation of soil, and sand
II. Character Education
A. Responsibility
1. using Play dough in a carpeted room for mountain formation lab
2. taking care of the rock kits for the rock lab
B. Cooperation
1. working together patiently during lab time
C. Self Control
1. maintaining self control during lab time
D. Citizenship
1. taking care of the rock kits so others can use them
III. Science Habits of Mind
SCIENCE HABITS OF MIND
THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE
I.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
By the end of fifth grade, students should:
A.
Keep records of their investigations and observations and not change the records later.
B.
Offer reasons for their findings and consider reasons suggested by others.
II. CRITICAL-RESPONSE SKILLS
By the end of fifth grade, students should:
A.
Buttress their statements with facts found in books, articles, and databases, and identify the sources used
and expect others to do the same.
B.
Recognize when comparisons might not be fair because some conditions are not kept the same.
C.
Seek better reasons for believing something than “Everybody knows that…” or “I just know” and discount
such reasons when given by others.
