Fourth Grade Science Core Curriculum

Standard 1: Students will understand that water changes state as it moves through the water cycle.
            Objective 1: Describe the relationship between heat energy, evaporation and 
            condensation of water on Earth.
            Objective 2: Describe the water cycle.

Standard 2: Students will understand that the elements of weather can be observed, measured, and recorded to make predictions and determine simple weather patterns.
            Objective 1: Observe, measure, and record the basic elements of weather.
            Objective 2: Interpret recorded weather data for simple patterns.
            Objective 3: Evaluate weather predictions based upon observational data.

Standard 3: Students will understand the basic properties of rocks, the processes involved in the formation of soils, and the needs of plants provided by soil.
            Objective 1: Identify basic properties of minerals and rocks.
            Objective 2: Explain how the processes of weathering and erosion change and    
            move materials that become soil.
            Objective 3: Observe the basic components of soil and relate the components               
            to plant growth.

Standard 4: Students will understand how fossils are formed, where they may be found in Utah, and how they can be used to make inferences.
            Objective 1: Describe Utah fossils and explain how they were formed.
            Objective 2: Explain how fossils can be used to make inferences about past l ice, 
            climate, geology, and environments.

Standard 5: Students will understand the physical characteristics of Utah's wetlands, forests, and deserts and identify common organisms for each environment.
            Objective 1: Describe the physical characteristics of Utah's wetlands, forests,             
            and deserts.
            Objective 2: Describe the common plants and animals found in Utah   
            environments and how these organisms have adapted to the environment in which 
            they live.
            Objective 3: Use a simple scheme to classify Utah plants and animals.
            Objective 4: Observe and record the behavior of Utah animals.
