[4] SD2.1. The student demonstrates an understanding of the forces that shape Earth by observing models of how waves, wind, water, and ice shape and reshape the Earth's surface by eroding rock and soil. (L)
[4] SD2.2. The student demonstrates an understanding of the forces that shape Earth by identifying causes (i.e., earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, landslides, and avalanches) of rapid changes on the surface.
[4] SD3.1. The student demonstrates an understanding of cycles influenced by energy from the sun and by Earth's position and motion in our solar system by recognizing changes to length of daylight over time and its relationship to seasons.
[4] SD4.1. The student demonstrates an understanding of the theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by recognizing that stars are like the sun but are so far away that they look like points of light.
[4] SD4.2. The student demonstrates an understanding of the theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by recognizing that objects have properties, locations, and movements that can be observed and described.
