Proficiency Standards By the End of Grade Two Students will be able to: Keep daily records of temperature (hot, warm, cool, cold) and precipitation (some, none, lots) through a period of time and organize the information in a chart or graph Identify the important attributes of different landscapes (e.g., beaches, mountains, deserts) Describe a variety of natural and man-made changes in the earth's surface that they have observed (water level in streams and rivers, tidal changes, wind blown sand or soil, work of earth-moving machinery) Sort and categorize rocks, minerals and other earth materials using one or more characteristics By the End of Grade Four Students will be able to: Use maps and globes to explain that most of the earth's surface is covered by water Identify/give examples of geological processes that have shaped New Hampshire's landscape over long periods of time Relate observed weather conditions to different climates and seasons Investigate different stages in the water cycle (melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation) By the End of Grade Six Students will be able to: Analyze rocks to obtain evidence of weathering and erosion Identify common geographic features of New Hampshire landscapes, e.g., mountains, lakes Describe basic facts about major features of the Earth's surface and natural changes in the features, e.g., volcanoes, earthquakes, glaciers Identify/give examples of geological processes that have shaped New Hampshire's landscape over long periods of time, e.g., volcanoes, glaciers, weathering Observe, describe and record weather conditions such as clouds, temperature, air pressure, and precipitation Identify events in nature that have repeating patterns or cycles, e.g., weather patterns, water cycle, rock cycle Identify common rocks and minerals using their physical properties Construct models that demonstrate the effects of water, ice, wind, and waves on the Earth's land surfaces, e.g., stream tables, wave tanks Compare and contrast the various types of common clouds Relate observed weather conditions to different climates and seasonal changes 4c. Curriculum Standard: Students will demonstrate an increasing ability to understand that the Earth contains a variety of renewable and non-renewable resources.
