EARTH.6.C

evaluate the evidence for changes to the chemical composition of Earth's atmosphere prior to the introduction of oxygen;

EARTH.6.E

describe how the production of oxygen by photosynthesis affected the development of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.

ENVIR.7.A

describe the interactions between the components of the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere;

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.
