 * The Solar System has many objects with unique characteristics that are constantly moving || Understand and apply the knowledge of:
 * Living and nonliving things work together ||  || Understands and applies knowledge of changes in the earth and sky. || Loretta Harder (harderl@ahst.k12.ia.us )

||
 * Understand and apply knowledge of properties and uses of earth materials || Understand and apply knowledge of weather and weather patterns || Weather affects my world, my community, and me. || Veronica McKee (vmckee@griswoldschools.org )

|| ||
 * The properties of earth materials make them useful. || Understand and apply knowledge of properties and uses of earth materials. || The different physical and chemical properties of earth materials make them useful in different ways, for example, as building materials, as sources of fuel, or for growing the plants we use as foods. || Barb Wolfe (bwolfe@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ):
 * Our solar system is a main star (our sun) and the space objects that travel around it. || Understands and applies knowledge of objects in the sky. || The objects in the sky all have properties, locations and movements that can be edited. The sun provides the light and heat to maintain the temperature of the earth. || Melisssa Nielson (nielsonm@ahst.k12.ia.us )

|| The earth's land, ocean and atmosphere change constently. || Understand and apply knowledge of properties and uses of earth materials. Understand and apply knowledge of precesses and changes on or in the earth's land, oceans, and atmoshpere. || The different physical and chaemical properties of earth materials make them useful in different ways, for example, as building materials, as sources of fuel, or for growing the plants we use as foods.
 * Earth materilas can be described and used in many ways.

The surface of the earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosiona nd weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods and earthquakes. || Peggy Hansen (phansen@griswoldschools.org )

 * Most objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion. ||  || Most objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion. The rotation of the earth on its axis every 24 hours produces the day and night cycle. To people on the earth this turning of the planet makes it seem as though the sun, planets, and stars are orbiting the earth once a day. The sun appears to move across the sky in the same way every day. Its apparent path changes slowly across the seasons. The moon's orbit around the earth once in about 28 days changes what part of the moon is lighted by the sun and how much of that partcan be seen from the earth-the phases of the moon. Eight planets and many other objects revolve around our Sun in predicatable patterns. These planets and objects are composed of varied materials. || Sheryl Roberts (sroberts@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ):

 * The relationship between the sun and the earth causes the earth's seasons. || Understand and apply knowledge of the properties, movements, and locations of objects in our solar system. || Most objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion. The rotation of the earth on its axis every 24 hours produces the day-and-night cycle.To people on the earth this turning of the planet makes it seem as though the sun, planets, and stars are orbiting the earth once a day.-The sun appears to move across the sky in the same way every day.

 * The surface of the earth changes. || Primary Earth Materials || Earth Materials are solid rocks and soils, water and the gases of the atmosphere. The varied materials have different physical and chemical properties. Soils have properties of color and textures, capacity to retain water and ability to support the growth of many kinds of plants, including those in our food supply. || Loretta Harder (harderl@ahst.k12.ia.us ):

//Please upload your concept maps and unit plans for Earth and Space Science here. Be sure to put your name on your unit plan and concept map so that others may contact you.// To upload materials from your desktop to this page, please follow these directions: 1. Click on the Edit icon located in the upper right hand corner of the page. The page will reload with an Editor bar at the top. 2. To upload a file, go to the Editor bar at the top of the page and click on the box with a picture in it. (When you hold your mouse over the picture, it reads "Insert Images and Files". 3. Then simply follow the directions for uploading.

The procedure is similar to attaching a file to an email. If you get stuck, click on the "Help" button at the top of the wiki space and directions will appear. When you are finished uploading the file, click on the "Save" button on the bottom of the page.
