Science 2: Materials can be changed through physical and chemical processes
• Physical ways of changing materials, chemical ways of changing materials
Science 3: Wind, water, and ice change the shape of the land
• Observable changes in the local environment caused by erosion and deposition by wind, water, and ice
Science 4: Matter has mass, takes up space, and can change phase.
• Phases of matter
Science 5: Earth materials change as they move through the rock cycle and can be used as natural resources
• The rock cycle, local types of earth materials
Science 6: Everyday materials are often mixtures
• Heterogeneous mixtures
Science 7: Earth and its climate have changed over geological time
• Crystalline structure of solids
Science 8: The theory of plate tectonics is the unifying theory that explains Earth’s geological processes
• Plate tectonic movement, layers of Earth
Earth Science 11: Earth materials are changed as they cycle through the geosphere and are used as resources, with economic and environmental implications, plate tectonic theory explains the consequences of tectonic plate interactions
• Earth materials can be identified and classified based on their properties, the rock cycle explains how rocks are formed, destroyed, and transformed
• Convection of heat within Earth’s interior drives plate motion and creates unique features at different plate boundaries
Earth Science 12: Minerals and rocks are the foundation of the rock cycle and can be used as resources that drive industry and global economies.
• Rocks can be compared and classified based on their properties and processes of formation, the origins of magma and volcanism are related to plate tectonic theory
