Earth and Space Science
S3E1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the physical attributes of rocks and soils.
S3E1.a. Ask questions and analyze data to classify rocks by their physical attributes (color, texture, luster, and hardness) using simple tests.
S3E1.b. Plan and carry out investigations to describe properties (color, texture, capacity to retain water, and ability to support growth of plants) of soils and soil types (sand, clay, loam).
S3E1.c. Make observations of the local environment to construct an explanation of how water and/or wind have made changes to soil and/or rocks over time.
S3L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the similarities and differences between plants, animals, and habitats found within geographic regions (Blue Ridge Mountains, Piedmont, Coastal Plains, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau) of Georg
S3L1.a. Ask questions to differentiate between plants, animals, and habitats found within Georgia’s geographic regions.
S3L1.b. Construct an explanation of how external features and adaptations (camouflage, hibernation, migration, mimicry) of animals allow them to survive in their habitat.
S3P1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the ways heat energy is transferred and measured.
S3P1.b. Plan and carry out an investigation to gather data using thermometers to produce tables and charts that illustrate the effect of sunlight on various objects.
