that an object may move in a straight line at a constant speed, speed
up, slow down, or change direction dependent on net force acting on the
object. SC.C.2.2.3

of all of the forces acting on the object. D. Processes that Shape the Earth:
1. The student recognizes that processes in the lithosphere, atmosphere,
hydrosphere, and biosphere interact to shape the Earth.: 3-5: The
student... SC.D.1.2.1

turn can be broken down to combine with organic material to form soil. SC.D.1.2.2
knows that 75 percent of the surface of the Earth is covered by water. SC.D.1.2.3
knows that the water cycle is influenced by temperature, pressure, and
the topography of the land. SC.D.1.2.4
knows that the surface of the Earth is in a continuous state of
change as waves, weather, and shifts of the land constantly change and
produce many new features. 2.
The student understands the need for protection of the natural systems
on Earth.: 3-5: The student... SC.D.2.2.1
knows that using, recycling, and reducing the use of natural resources
improve and protect the quality of life. E. Earth and Space:
1. The student understands the interaction and organization in the Solar
System and the universe and how this affects life on Earth..: 3-5: The
student... SC.E.1.2.1
knows that the tilt of the Earth on its own axis as it rotates and
revolves around the Sun causes changes in season, length of day, and
energy available. SC.E.1.2.2
knows that the combination of the Earth's
movement and the Moon's own orbit around the Earth results in the
appearance of cyclical phases of the Moon. SC.E.1.2.3
knows that the Sun is a star and that its energy can be captured or
concentrated to generate heat and light for work on Earth. SC.E.1.2.4
knows that the planets differ in size, characteristics, and composition
and that they orbit the Sun in our Solar System. SC.E.1.2.5
understands the arrangement of planets in our Solar System. 2.
The student recognizes the vastness of the universe and the Earth's
place in it.: 3-5: The student... SC.E.2.2.1
knows that, in addition to the Sun, there are many other stars that are
far away. F. Processes of Life:
1. The student describes patterns of structure and function in living
things. SC.F.1.2.1

diversity.: 3-5: The student... SC.F.2.2.1

reproduction. SC.G.1.2.4
knows that some organisms decompose dead plants and animals into simple
minerals and nutrients for use by living things and thereby recycle
matter. SC.G.1.2.5
knows that animals eat plants or other animals to acquire the energy

knows that variations in light, water, temperature, and soil content are largely responsible for the existence of different kinds of organisms and population densities in an ecosystem. SC.G.2.2.1
knows that all living things must compete for Earth's limited resources;

reach, explain, and justify their own individual conclusions. SC.H.1.2.4
knows that to compare and contrast observations and results is an
essential skill in science. SC.H.1.2.5
