LEGENDS SCHOOL PROGRAM
CONNECTIONS TO
MASSACHUSETTS CURRICULUM FRAMEWORKS
Framework: Science and Technology
Legends
School Program supports a variety of MA Curriculum Frameworks: HISTORY AND
SOCIAL SCIENCE, SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY, ARTS, and HEALTH. Below are
the connections that are from the Science and Technology framework
current as of July, 2005.
Earth
and Space Science, Grades
3–5
LEARNING
STANDARDS
Rocks
and Their Properties
1.
Give a simple explanation of what a mineral is and some examples, e.g.,
quartz,
mica.
2.
Identify the physical properties of minerals (hardness, color, luster,
cleavage,
and streak), and explain how minerals can be tested for these different
physical properties.
Soil
4.
Explain and give examples of the ways in which soil is formed (the
weathering
of rock by water and wind and from the decomposition of plant and
animal remains).
Weather
6.
Explain how air temperature, moisture, wind speed and direction, and
precipitation
make up the weather in a particular place and time.
7.
Distinguish among the various forms of precipitation (rain, snow,
sleet, and
hail), making con- nections to the weather in a particular place and
time.
Water
Cycle
10.
Describe how water on earth cycles in different forms and in different
locations,
including underground and in the atmosphere.
11.
Give examples of how the cycling of water, both in and out of the
atmosphere,
has an effect on climate.
EarthÕs
History
12.
Give examples of how the surface of the earth changes due to slow
processes such
as erosion and weathering, and rapid processes such
as landslides,
volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.
Life
Science (Biology), Grades 3–5
Learning
Standards
3.
Recognize that plants
and
animals go through predictable life cycles that include birth, growth,
development, reproduction, and death.
