SCIENCE.4.10.B — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

Previous grade

S.1.10.B

investigate and describe how water can move rock and soil particles from one place to another;

S.2.10.A

investigate and describe how wind and water move soil and rock particles across the Earth's surface such as wind blowing sand into dunes on a beach or a river carrying rocks as it flows;

S.3.10.C

model and describe rapid changes in Earth's surface such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and landslides.

S.4.10.B

model and describe slow changes to Earth's surface caused by weathering, erosion, and deposition from water, wind, and ice; and

S.5.10.C

model and identify how changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, or ice result in the formation of landforms, including deltas, canyons, and sand dunes.

S.7.10.A

describe the evidence that supports that Earth has changed over time, including fossil evidence, plate tectonics, and superposition; and

AQUA.11.D

describe how erosion and deposition in river systems lead to formation of geologic features.

EARTH.9.A

interpret Earth surface features using a variety of methods such as satellite imagery, aerial photography, and topographic and geologic maps using appropriate technologies;

EARTH.9.C

model the processes of mass wasting, erosion, and deposition by water, wind, ice, glaciation, gravity, and volcanism in constantly reshaping Earth's surface; and

EARTH.12.A

evaluate the impact on humans of natural changes in Earth's systems such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions;

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.
