Earth and Space Sciences
E.4.9C.1 Analyze and interpret data to describe and predict how natural processes (e.g., weathering, erosion, deposition, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, or storms) affect Earth’s surface.
Lessons: Rocks and Erosion: How Land Changes Shape (Can water carve a canyon?, What protects a hillside from washing away?, How do rocks become sand?) · Living with Water: Salt, Rice and the Mekong (How do salt farmers turn the sea into salt?, How do rice terraces stop a mountain washing away?, How can a house stay dry when the Mekong floods?)
Practice: Rocks and Erosion: How Land Changes Shape workbook · Living with Water: Salt, Rice and the Mekong workbook
E.4.9C.4 Research and explain how systems (i.e., the atmosphere, geosphere, and/or hydrosphere), interact and support life in the biosphere.
Lessons: Our Living Planet (Can a jar keep itself alive?, Where does rain come from?) · The Water Cycle, Start to Finish (Where has the water in your glass been?, Can you make a mini water cycle?) (partly) · Weather Detectives (Why does a chinook feel like spring in January?) (partly)
Practice: Our Living Planet workbook · The Water Cycle, Start to Finish workbook · Weather Detectives workbook
Life Sciences
L.4.2.1 Compare and contrast life cycles of familiar plants and animals.
Lessons: Who Lives Here? (Does every animal grow up the same way?)
Practice: Who Lives Here? workbook
L.4.2.2 Develop and use models to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, or butterflies) including commonalities (e.g., birth, growth, reproduction, or death).
Lessons: Who Lives Here? (Does every animal grow up the same way?)
