Science

This week's Georgia Performance Standards:
S6CS3
Students will use computation and estimation skills necessary for analyzing data and following scientific explanations.

S6CS5
Students will use the ideas of system, model, change, and scale in exploring scientific and technological matters.

S6E5
Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth's surface is formed.
d. Describe processes that change rocks and the  surface of the earth.
f. Explain the effects of physical processes (plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, volcanic eruption, gravity) on geological features including oceans (composition, currents, and tides).
g. Describe how the fossils show evidence of the  changing surface and climate of the earth.
