Academic Content Standards
1.D.1: Describe the rock cycle and explain that there are sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks that have distinct properties (e.g., color, texture) and are formed in different ways.
Rock Classification
Rock Cycle
1.D.3: Identify minerals by their characteristic properties.
2.A.1: Explain that many of the basic functions of organisms are carried out by or within cells and are similar in all organisms.
2.A.2: Explain that multicellular organisms have a variety of specialized cells, tissues, organs and organ systems that perform specialized functions.
Cell Structure
Circulatory System
Digestive System
Paramecium Homeostasis
2.A.3: Identify how plant cells differ from animal cells (e.g., cell wall, chloroplasts).
2.B.4: Recognize that an individual organism does not live forever; therefore reproduction is necessary for the continuation of every species and traits are passed on to the next generation through reproduction.
Inheritance
Mouse Genetics (One Trait)
Mouse Genetics (Two Traits)
2.B.5: Describe that in asexual reproduction all the inherited traits come from a single parent.
2.B.6: Describe that in sexual reproduction an egg and sperm unite and some traits come from each parent, so the offspring is never identical to either of its parents.
Flower Pollination
Inheritance
Mouse Genetics (One Trait)
Mouse Genetics (Two Traits)
2.B.7: Recognize that likenesses between parents and offspring (e.g., eye color, flower color) are inherited. Other likenesses, such as table manners are learned.

2.C.8: Describe how organisms may interact with one another.
3.A.4: Describe that chemical and physical changes occur all around us (e.g., in the human body, cooking, industry).
3.C.6: Explain that energy derived from renewable resources such as wind and water is assumed to be available indefinitely.
3.C.7: Describe how electric energy can be produced from a variety of sources (e.g., Sun, wind, coal).
3.C.8: Describe how renewable and nonrenewable energy resources can be managed (e.g., fossil fuels, trees, water).
