National Standards Correlation
This resource has 15 correlations with the National Standards.
[HIDE CORRELATIONS]
- Earth Science
- Properties of earth materials
- Earth materials are solid rocks and soils, water, and the gases of the atmosphere.
- Objects in the sky
- The sun provides the light and heat necessary to maintain the temperature of the earth.
- Changes in earth and sky
- Weather can be described by measurable quantities, such as temperature, wind direction and speed, and precipitation.
- Structure of the earth system
- Water, which covers the majority of the earth's surface, circulates through the crust, oceans, and atmosphere in what is known as the "water cycle."
- Water evaporates from the earth's surface, rises and cools as it moves to higher elevations, condenses as rain or snow, and falls to the surface where it collects in lakes, oceans, soil, and in rocks underground.
- Water is a solvent. As it passes through the water cycle it dissolves minerals and gases and carries them to the oceans.
- The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and trace gases that include water vapor.
- The atmosphere has different properties at different elevations.
- Global patterns of atmospheric movement influence local weather.
- Oceans have a major effect on climate, because water in the oceans holds a large amount of heat.
- Earth in the solar system
- The sun is the major source of energy for phenomena on the earth's surface, such as growth of plants, winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle.
- Science in Personal and Social Perspectives
- Changes in environments
- Changes in environments can be natural or influenced by humans. Some changes are good, some are bad, and some are neither good nor bad.
- 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)
