The Rock Cycle
- 5.7A explore the processes that led to the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels
5.7D identify fossils as evidence of past living organisms and the nature of the environments at the time using models

Forces that Change Earth's Surface
5.7B recognize how landforms such as deltas, canyons, and sand dunes are the result of changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, and ice
3.7B investigate rapid changes in Earth's surface such a volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and landslides

Weather & Climate
5.8A differentiate between weather and climate
- 4.8A measure and record changes in weather and make predictions using weather maps, weather symbols, and a map key

The water Cycle
5.8B explain how the Sun and the ocean interact in the water cycle
4.8B describe and illustrate the continuous movement of water above and on the surface of Earth through the water cycle and explain the role of the Sun as a major source of energy in this process
