SS:GE:3: Physical Systems
How do maps, globes, and other tools help us understand the world around us?
Global Citizenship: Understand the importance of preserving natural systems for future generations.
Critical Thinking: Assess the impact of physical systems on human life and vice versa.
Responsibility: Advocate for responsible interactions with the Earth’s physical systems.
What are the main physical systems of the Earth, and how do they function?
How do natural processes like erosion, weathering, and tectonic activity change landscapes?
In what ways do human activities impact physical systems and the environment?
SS:GE:4:3.1: Illustrate the components of Earth's physical systems, e.g., a climate or a model of the water cycle.
SS:GE:4:3.2: Demonstrate how physical processes shape features of Earth's surface, e.g., weather or tectonic forces.
SS:GE:4:3.3: Describe how the Earth-Sun relationship affects conditions on Earth, e.g., seasons at different locations on Earth, length of daylight.
SS:GE:4:3.4: Recognize the components and distribution of ecosystems, e.g., the location of certain plants and animals or the food chain.
SS:GE:4:3.5: Investigate how humans interact with ecosystems, e.g., forest management or impacting wetlands.
