| Science | 3 | Earth and Space Science | 3.ESS.1 | Earth's Resources | Earth's nonliving resources have specific properties. |
| Science | 3 | Earth and Space Science | 3.ESS.2 | Earth's Resources | Earth's resources can be used for energy. Renewable energy resources, such as wind, water or solar energy, can be replenished within a short amount of time by natural processes. Nonrenewable energy is a finite resource, such as natural gas, coal or oil, which cannot be replenished in a short amount of time. |
| Science | 3 | Earth and Space Science | 3.ESS.3 | Earth's Resources | Some of Earth's resources are limited. Some of Earth's resources become limited due to overuse and/or contamination. Reducing resource use, decreasing waste and/or pollution, recycling and reusing can help conserve these resources. |
| Science | 3 | Life Science | 4.LS.2 | Earth's Living History | Fossils can be compared to one another and to present-day organisms according to their similarities and differences. . . . Fossils provide a point of comparison between the types of organisms that lived long ago and those existing today. |
| Science | 3 | Physical Science | 3.PS.2 | Matter and Forms of Energy | Matter exists in different states, each of which has different properties. The most recognizable states of matter are solids, liquids and gases. . . |
| Science | 4 | Life Science | 4.LS.2 | Earth's Living History | Fossils can be compared to one another and to present-day organisms according to their similarities and differences. |
| Science | 6 | Earth and Space Science | 6.ESS.3 | Rocks, Minerals and Soil | Igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks form in different ways. Magma or lava cools and crystallizes to form igneous rocks. Heat and pressure applied to existing rock forms metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rock forms as existing rock weathers chemically and/or physically and the weathered material is compressed and then lithifies. |
