|
Students will recognize (in grades K-2) that plants and animals need water to live
|
|
07.0.8.0.4
|
Students will recognize that water can exist as a gas in the air and can reappear as a liquid, if cooled, or s a solid, if cooled below the freezing point of water
|
|
07.0.8.0.5
|
Students will recognize that three-fourths of the Earth's surface is covered by water
|
|

|
| GRADES | 5 thru 8
|
07.0.8.5.1
|
Students will recognize how the cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere plays an important role in determining climatic patterns and is responsible for constantly changing the phase and location of water
|
|
07.0.8.5.2
|
Students will recognize that water falling to Earth flows over the surface as runoff and collects in ocean basins, rivers, lakes, icecaps and underground
|
|
