Earth and Space
This strand is focused on identifying recognizable patterns and processes as students learn about Earth's rotation and demonstrate the effects this movement has on Earth's surface, including day and night, shadows, and the rotation of Earth on its axis. Students continue their learning of patterns and processes on Earth while exploring weather, climate, the water cycle, the formation of sedimentary rock and fossil fuels, and the formation of landforms. Finally, students learn ways to manage natural resources to support a healthy environment.
