| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | M10.1.1 | Apply mathematical skills and processes to literature. |
| 3 | SB1.1 | an understanding of the structure and properties of matter by classifying matter according to physical properties (i.e., color, size, shape, weight, texture, flexibility) |
| 3 | SB3.1 | effects of interactions between matter and energy: temperature changes cause changes in phases of substances (e.g., ice changing to liquid, water changing to water vapor, and |
| 3 | SD1.1 | an understanding of geochemical cycles by recognizing that most rocks are composed of combinations of different substances |
| 3 | SD4.2 | theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by recognizing that objects have properties, locations, and movements that can be observed and described |
| 4 | SB1 | the relationship of these properties to their structure and behavior. |
| 4 | SD1.1 | most smaller rocks come from the breaking and weathering of larger rocks as part of the rock cycle |
| 4 | SD4.2 | theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by recognizing that objects have properties, locations, and movements that can be observed and described* |
| 5 | SB1 | understanding of the characteristic properties of matter and the relationship of these properties to their structure and behavior. |
| 5 | SB1.1 | an understanding of the structure and properties of matter by comparing models that represent matter as solids, liquids, or gases and the changes from one state to another (L) |
| 5 | SD1.1 | rock cycle showing that smaller rocks come from the breaking and weathering of larger rocks and that smaller rocks (e.g., sediments and sands) may combine with plant materials to form soil |
| 5 | SD2 | understanding of the origins, ongoing processes, and forces that shape the structure, composition, and physical history of the Earth. |
| K | F&R-2. | functions, patterns, or sequences by identifying, sorting, and classifying objects by attribute and identifying objects that do not belong to a particular group (M4.1.1) |
