K-7 Standard E.SE: Develop an understanding of the properties of earth materials and how those properties make materials useful. Understand gradual and rapid changes in earth materials and features of the surface of Earth. Understand magnetic properties of Earth. E.SE.M.1 Soil- Soils consist of weathered rocks and decomposed organic materials from dead plants, animals, and bacteria. Soils are often found in layers with each having a different chemical composition and texture. Expectations   Vocabulary   Test Prep E.SE.06.11 Explain how physical and chemical weathering lead to erosion and the formation of soils and sediments.   Erosion Deposition Soil Physical weathering Chemical weathering Sediments   E.SE.06.12 Explain how waves, wind, water, and glacier movement, shape and reshape the land surface of the Earth by eroding rock in some areas and depositing sediments in other areas.   Erosion Deposition Delta Alluvial fan Glacier Flood Sediments Wind Wave   E.SE.06.13 Describe how soil is a mixture, made up of weather eroded rock and decomposed organic material.   Soil Rock Mineral Organic Sand Erosion Decomposer   E.SE.06.14 Compare different soil samples based on particle size and texture.   Observe Investigation Evaluate Soil Mineral Texture Size Particle   E.SE.M.4 Rock Formation- Rocks and rock formations bear evidence of the minerals, materials, temperature/pressure conditions, and forces that created them. Expectations   Vocabulary   Test Prep E.SE.06.41 Compare and contrast the formation of rock types (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) and demonstrate the similarities and differences using the rock cycle model.   Investigation Rock Mineral Cyclical Pattern Similarity Difference Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary Model Compare Rock cycle   E.SE.M.5 Plate Tectonics- The lithospheric plates of the Earth constantly move, resulting in major geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. Expectations   Vocabulary   Test Prep E.SE.06.51 Explain plate tectonic movement and how the lithospheric plates move centimeters each year.   Investigation Earth Plate tectonics Lithosphere Movement   E.SE.06.52 Demonstrate how major geological events (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mountain building) result from these plate motions.   Investigation Evaluate Model Earth Earthquake Volcano Mountain Plate tectonics   E.SE.06.53 Describe layers of the Earth as a lithosphere (crust and upper mantle), convecting mantle, and dense metallic core.   Earth Earth material Lithosphere Crust Upper mantle Convecting mantle Metallic core   E.SE.M.6 Magnetic Field of Earth- Earth as a whole has a magnetic field that is detectable at the surface with a compass. Expectations   Vocabulary   Test Prep E.SE.06.61 Describe the Earth as a magnet and compare the magnetic properties of the Earth to that of a natural or man-made magnet.   Evaluate Earth Structures Magnetism Natural Man-made   E.SE.06.62 Explain how a compass works using the magnetic field of the Earth, and how a compass is used for navigation on land and sea.   Magnetism Earth Compass

	K-7 Standard E.ST: Develop an understanding that the sun is the central and largest body in the solar system and that Earth and other objects in the sky move in a regular and predictable motion around the sun. Understand that those motions explain the day, year, moon phases, eclipses and the appearance of motion of objects across the sky. Understand that gravity is the force that keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and governs motion in the solar system. Develop an understanding that fossils and layers of Earth provide evidence of the history of Earth's life forms, changes over long periods of time, and theories regarding Earth's history and continental drift. E.ST.M.3 Fossils- Fossils provide important evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed in a given location. Expectations   Vocabulary   Test Prep E.ST.06.31 Explain how rocks and fossils are used to understand the age and geological history of the earth (timelines and relative dating, rock layers).   Rock Fossils Evidence Geological history Timeline Relative dating Rock layers   E.ST.M.4 Geologic Time- Earth processes seen today (erosion, mountain building, and glacier movement) make possible the measurement of geologic time through methods such as observing rock sequences and using fossils to correlate the sequences at various locations. Expectations   Vocabulary   Test Prep E.ST.06.41 Explain how Earth processes (erosion, mountain building, and glacier movement) are used for the measurement of geologic time through observing rock layers.   Earth History Erosion Deposition Observation Analyze Prediction Mountain building Geologic Rock layers Glacier   E.ST.06.42 Describe how fossils provide important evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed.   Earth Fossils History Evidence Environment Prediction
