National Standards Correlation
This resource has 11 correlations with the National Standards.
[HIDE CORRELATIONS]
- Earth Science
- Changes in earth and sky
- The surface of the earth changes.
- Some changes to the surface of the Earth are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes
- Structure of the earth system
- The solid earth is layered with a lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core.
- Lithospheric plates on the scales of continents and oceans constantly move at rates of centimeters per year in response to movements in the mantle.
- Major geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building, result from the motions of lithospheric plates.
- Constructive forces include crustal deformation, volcanic eruption, and deposition of sediment.
- History and Nature of Science
- Science as a human endeavor
- Science requires different abilities, depending on such factors as the field of study and type of inquiry.
- Individuals and teams have contributed and will continue to contribute to the scientific enterprise. (9-12)
- Process Standards for Professional Development
- Research-Based
- Address teachers' needs as learners and build on their current knowledge of science content, teaching, and learning. (NSES)
- Design
- Introduce teachers to scientific literature, media, and technological resources that expand their science knowledge and their ability to access further knowledge. (NSES)
- Learning
- Incorporate ongoing reflection on the process and outcomes of understanding science through inquiry. (NSES)
