Students can demonstrate their knowledge of sound by describing and constructing models to illustrate the characteristics of sound. Students demonstrate their scientific skills and processes by conducting investigations, recording their findings, and presenting their results. Earth and Space Science Earth and Space Science includes the study of the universe and the structure of the earth. By using the skills, processes, and attitudes of science, students develop an understanding of the forces, processes, and dynamic life-supporting qualities of the Earth as well as the major features of the universe and space technologies. Sky above us Day, night, and seasonal changes affect human activity.
Students are interested in and aware of the sun, moon, planets, stars, and other objects in the sky.
Through demonstrations and models, they distinguish the unique features of the Earth and develop an awareness of how day, night, and the seasons are caused by the Earth's movement around the sun. Students can demonstrate their knowledge of the sky by describing and demonstrating the features of the day and night skies. Students demonstrate their scientific skills and processes when they make observations and report on their scientific investigations. The Earth is composed of rocks and water and its surface is constantly changing. Through building models of the Earth, exploring wind and water erosion, and studying rocks and soil formation, students begin to develop an understanding of the composition of the Earth and factors that cause changes on its surface.
