Fossil Fuel and Formation
- SCI.5.7A Explore the processes that led to the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels.
- SCI.5.7D Identify fossils as evidence of past living organisms and the nature of the environments at the time using models.
- SCI.4.7C Identify and classify Earth's renewable resources, including air, plants, water, and animals; and nonrenewable resources, including coal, oil, and natural gas; and the importance of conservation.
Identifying and Conserving Earth’s Resources
- SCI.4.7C Identify and classify Earth's renewable resources, including air, plants, water, and animals; and nonrenewable resources, including coal, oil, and natural gas; and the importance of conservation.
- SCI.5.1B Make informed choices in the conversation, disposal, and recycling of materials.
Alternative Energy Resources
- SCI.5.7C Identify alternative energy resources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biofuels.
Landforms
Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
- SCI.5.7B Recognize how landforms such as deltas, canyons, and sand dunes are the result of changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, and ice.
Changes to the Earth’s Surface
- SCI.5.7B Recognize how landforms such as deltas, canyons, and sand dunes are the result of changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, and ice.
The Sun, Earth, and Moon System
- SCI.5.8C Demonstrate that Earth rotates on its axis once approximately every 24 hours causing the day/night cycle and the apparent movement of the Sun across the sky.
- SCI.5.8D Identify and compare the physical characteristics of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
Weather & Climate
- SCI.5.8A Differentiate between weather and climate.
- SCI.5.2G Construct appropriate simple graphs, tables, maps, and charts using technology, including computers, to organize, examine, and evaluate information.
