CS.5 Structures of the Earth and the Solar System

Standards

  1. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > G.6 > Earth/Space Science > S.5

    Structures of the Earth and the Solar System - The earth is mostly rock, three-fourths of its surface is covered by a relatively thin layer of water, and the entire planet is surrounded by a relatively thin blanket of air, and is able to support life. The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:

    Content Skills Learning Targets Big Ideas Essential Questions
    4 - Integrate (Investigations)
    4 - I can integrate process standards in an investigation to discover more about this standard.
    A. The Earth consists of rock, a partial water layer, thin blanket of air which combined has the ability to support life.
    A.1 How do the Earth structures support life?
    A.2 How would one describe the water layer on Earth?
    A.3 How might one describe the air layer surrounding the Earth?
  2. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > G.6 > Earth/Space Science > S.5 > O.2

    The sun provides the light and heat necessary to maintain life on Earth and is the ultimate source of energy (i.e., producers receive their energy from the sun).

    4 - Integrate (Investigations)
    4 - I can integrate process standards in an investigation to discover more about this objective.
    A. The sun is the ultimate energy source for all life initiated by producers.
    A.1 How do producers capture the sun's energy?
    A.2 How does the sun provide heat energy for the life on Earth?
  3. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > G.6 > Earth/Space Science > S.5 > O.1

    Earth has four main systems that interact: the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. 

    1. The geosphere is the portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth’s interior, rocks and minerals, landforms, and the processes that shape the Earth’s surface.
    2. The hydrosphere is the liquid water component of the Earth. Water covers the majority of the Earth’s surface and circulates through the crust, oceans and atmosphere in what is known as the water cycle.
    3. The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and trace gases that include water vapor. The atmosphere has a different physical and chemical composition at different elevations.
    4. The biosphere is made up of all that is living on the Earth. It is a life-supporting global ecosystem, where living things depend on other organisms and the environment.
