Earth Systems Lessons 2015
E.ES.E.4 Natural Resources- The supply of many natural resources is limited. Humans have devised methods for extending their use of natural resources through recycling, reuse, and renewal.
E.ES.03.41 Identify natural resources (metals, fuels, fresh water, fertile soil, and forests). *
E.ES.03.42 Classify renewable (fresh water, fertile soil, forests) and non-renewable (fuels, metals) resources. *
E.ES.03.43 Describe ways humans are protecting, extending, and restoring resources (recycle, reuse, reduce, renewal).
E.ES.03.44 Recognize that paper, metal, glass, and some plastics can be recycled.
E.ES.E.5 Human Impact- Humans depend on their natural and constructed environment. Humans change environments in ways that are helpful or harmful for themselves and other organisms.
E.ES.03.51 Describe ways humans are dependent on the natural environment (forests, water, clean air, Earth materials) and constructed environments (homes, neighborhoods,
shopping malls, factories, and industry).
E.ES.03.52 Describe helpful or harmful effects of humans on the environment (garbage, habitat destruction, land management, renewable, and non-renewable resources).
E.SE.E.1 Earth Materials- Earth materials that occur in nature include rocks, minerals, soils, water, and the gases of the atmosphere. Some Earth materials have properties which sustain plant and animal life.
E.SE.03.13 Recognize and describe different types of Earth materials (mineral, rock, clay, boulder, gravel, sand, soil, water, and air). *
E.SE.03.14 Recognize that rocks are made up of minerals.
E.SE.E.2 Surface Changes- The surface of Earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering; and some changes are due to rapid processes,
such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.
E.SE.03.22 Identify and describe natural causes of change in the Earth’s surface (erosion, glaciers, volcanoes, landslides, and earthquakes).
E.SE.E.3 Using Earth Materials- Some Earth materials have properties that make them useful either in their present form or designed and modified to solve human problems. They can enhance the quality of life as in the case of materials used for building or fuels used for heating and transportation.
E.SE.03.31 Identify Earth materials used to construct some common objects (bricks, buildings, roads, glass). *
E.SE.03.32 Describe how materials taken from the Earth can be used as fuels for heating and transportation.
