Earth Science Grade Level Content Expectations
| Earth
Science |
E.FE.07.12 |
Compare and
contrast the composition of the atmosphere at different elevations. |
| Earth Science |
E.FE.07.11 |
Describe
the atmosphere as a mixture of gases. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.82 |
Analyze
the flow of water between the components of a watershed, including surface
features (lakes, streams, rivers, wetlands) and groundwater. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.81 |
Explain
the water cycle and describe how evaporation, transpiration, condensation,
cloud formation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, ground water
and absorption occur within the cycle. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.74 |
Describe
weather conditions associated with frontal boundaries (cold, warm,
stationary, and occluded) and the movement of major air masses and the jet
stream across North America, using a weather map. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.73 |
Explain
how the temperature of the oceans affects the different climates on Earth
because water in the oceans holds a large amount of heat. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.72 |
Describe
how different weather occurs due to the constant motion of the atmosphere
from the energy of the sun reaching the surface of the Earth. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.71 |
Compare
and contrast the difference and relationship between climate and weather. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.42 |
Describe
the origins of pollution in the atmosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere, (car
exhaust, industrial emissions, acid rain and natural sources), and how
pollution impacts habitats, climatic change, threatens or endangers species. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.41 |
Explain
how human activities (surface mining, deforestation, overpopulation,
construction and urban development, farming, dams, landfills, and restoring
natural areas) change the surface of the Earth and affect the survival of
organisms. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.13 |
Describe
how the warming of the Earth by the sun produces winds and ocean currents. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.12 |
Describe
the relationship between the warming of the atmosphere of the Earth by the
sun and convection within the atmosphere and oceans. |
| Earth Science |
E.ES.07.11 |
Demonstrate,
using a model or drawing, the relationship between the warming by the sun of
the Earth and the water cycle as it applies to the atmosphere (evaporation,
water vapor, warm air rising, cooling, condensation, clouds). |
