Earth & Space Science
Earth’s Resources-
I can:
I can:
- observe and document the warming and cooling of air, water, and soil.
- compare the temperature of an object before and after being exposed to sunlight.
- use tools and technology to collect, compare, and record changes in temperature.
- talk about the results of experiments and ask questions to get more information.
- investigate the freezing and melting of water.
- use maps to observe how much of the earth is covered by water and to explain the importance of water on earth.
- observe water in the air in the form of clouds, steam, and fog.
