Weather and Climate: Students learn about Earth processes that contribute to various types of weather. They analyze and interpret data and information to learn about weather patterns and climate from a local and global perspective. Students learn about Earth processes that result in natural hazards, and ways to reduce the impact of weather-related hazards.
Students explore the relationship between force and motion by observing patterns, cause and effect. Students study the relationship between objects and electric and magnetic forces.
In Part I students explore the similarities and differences between plant and animal life cycles, how traits are inherited from parents, and how the environment can influence the inheritance of those traits. In Part II students study how the organisms in an ecosystem impact and depend on each other for survival.
