describe and classify rocks by the observable properties of size, shape, color, and texture;
A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
describe and classify rocks by the observable properties of size, shape, color, and texture;
determine the physical properties of rocks that allow Earth's natural resources to be stored there.
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Patterns in the observable characteristics of rocks allow them to be classified.
It is important to consider how changes in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system’s structure or performance. Scale refers to the size of an object in relation to another object or its environment. Proportion is the ratio of one quantity to another. Quantity is a count of a set of objects or a measurement of a substance. It is important to note that in kindergarten – grade 2, students will only describe objects in terms of size (scale) and quantity.
Comparing one rock's size to another rock's size is a relative scale comparison. Categories can be quantified by counting the number of rocks in each classification.
