Standard I

Students will understand that chemical and physical changes occur in matter.

(Heat, substance, chemical change, dissolve, physical change, matter, product, reactants, solid, liquid, weight.)

Standard II

Students will understand that volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering, and erosion reshape Earth’s surface.  (Earthquakes, erode, erosion, faults, uplift, volcanoes, weathering, buttes, arches, glaciers, geological, deposition)

Standard III

Students will understand that magnetism can be observed when there is an interaction between the magnetic fields or between a magnet and materials made.  (Battery, complete circuit, incomplete circuit, current, conductor, insulator, pathway, power source, attract, compass, electromagnetism, magnetic force, magnetic field, natural magnet, permanent magnet, properties, repel, static electricity, temporary magnet, switch, load)

Standard IV

Students will understand features of static and current electricity.  (Battery, complete circuit, incomplete circuit, current, conductor, insulator, pathway, power source, attract, compass, electromagnetism, magnetic force, magnetic field, natural magnet, permanent magnet, properties, repel, static electricity, temporary magnet, switch, load.)

Standard V

Students will understand that traits are passed from the parent organisms to their offspring, and that sometimes the offspring may possess variations of these traits that may help or hinder survival in a given environment.  (Inherited, environment, species, offspring, traits, variations, survival, instincts, population, specialized structure, organism, life cycle, parent organism, learned behavior.)
