**Science Standards** 5th Grade Science Standards

Our main focus for the **3rd Nine Week Period** will be on Standard 6 (The Universe), Standard 7 (The Earth), and Standard 8 (The Atmosphere). We will also be reviewing all skills that have been taught up to this point as well.

__Standard 6 (The Universe)__
 * GLE 0507.6.1 Compare planets based on their known characteristics. ** **GLE 0507.6.2** **Recognize that charts can be used to locate and identify star patterns.**

SPI 0507.6.2 Select information from a complex data representation to draw conclusions about the planets. SPI 0507.6.3** **Identify methods and tools for identifying star patterns.**
 * SPI 0507.6.1 Distinguish among the planets according to their known characteristics such as appearance, location, composition, and apparent motion.

 __Standard 7 (The Earth) __ __Standard 8 (The Atmosphere) __ **GLE 0507.8.1** **Analyze and predict how major landforms and bodies of water affect atmospheric conditions.**
 * GLE 0507.7.1** **Compare geologic events responsible for the earth’s major geological features.**
 * SPI 0507.7.1 Describe internal forces such as volcanoes, earthquakes, faulting, and plate movements that are responsible for the earth’s major geological features such as mountains, valleys, etc. **

The following are sights that I recommend Links for the Science Standards listed above
 * SPI 0507.8.1 Describe the effects of the oceans on weather and climate. **
 * SPI 0507.8.2 Explain how mountains affect weather and climate.**
