Fourth grade students will: identify the basic components of the solar system describe the motion of Earth in relation to the sun compare Earth to other planets (e.g. size, distance from sun and from each other, temperature, length of day) know that the Earth is one of nine planets that orbit the sun and that as the Earth orbits the sun, different patterns of stars can be seen in different seasons explore objects associated with the universe (comets, galaxies, asteroids) compare and contrast the physical features of Earth (e.g. land forms) identify the main landforms in Colorado (e.g. mountains, plains, plateaus) distinguish between weather and climate know that clouds have properties, locations, and movements that can be observed and described know that weather can be described in measurable quantities, temperature wind direction, and precipitation identify the water cycle (e.g. evaporation, condensation, transpiration, etc.) recognize the importance of water and its uses identify and describe the states (e.g. solid, liquid, gas) in which water can be found on Earth Standard 5: Students know and understand interrelationships among science, technology, and human activity and how they can affect the world.
