NGSS4Earth and Space Sciences4-ESS3-1Earth and Human ActivityObtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.
NGSS-Modified4Earth and Space Sciences4-ESS1-1Earth's Place in the UniverseIdentify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers for changes in a landscape over time to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
NGSS-Modified4Earth and Space SciencesESS3.ANatural ResourcesEnergy and fuels that humans use are derived from natural sources, and their use affects the environment in multiple ways. Some resources are renewable over time, and others are not.
NGSS-Modified5Physical Science5-PS1-3Matter and Its InteractionsMake observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
CCSS ELA Literacy5Reading Informational TextCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.7Integration of Knowledge and IdeasDraw on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently.
NGSS-Modified5Physical Sciences5-PS1-1Matter and Its InteractionsDevelop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
NGSS-Modified5Physical Sciences5-PS1.AStructure and Properties of MatterMatter of any type can be subdivided into particles that are too small to see, but even then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means. A model showing that gases are made from matter particles that are too small to see and are moving freely around in space can explain many observations, including the inflation and shape of a balloon and the effects of air on larger particles or objects.
