FEATURES OF THE EARTH
SC.02.02.02 ~ Knows that rock is
composed of different combinations of
minerals
SC.02.02.03 ~ Knows the composition
and properties of soils (e.g.,
components of soil as weathered rock,
living organisms, products of plants and
animals; properties of soil such as
color, texture, capacity to retain water,
ability to support plant growth)
SC.02.02.04 ~ Knows how features on
the Earth's surface are constantly
changed by a combination of slow and
rapid processes (e.g., weathering,
erosion, and deposition of sediment
caused by waves, wind, weather, and
ice; sudden changes in the landscape
caused by landslides, volcanic
eruptions, and earthquakes)
SC.02.02.05 ~ Knows that fossils
provide evidence about the plants and
animals that lived long ago and the
nature of the environment at that time
