SCOPE
AND SEQUENCE
This
is just a suggested scope and sequence. The Bethune
students studied the topics below before they began
their action plan. There are many ways to teach
each of the topics listed. Your school district
may use their own curriculum or they may use kits
and curriculum. Bethune used a combination of the
district curriculum, FOSS kits, STC kits, and Bethune's
own EEI (Education for the Energy Industry) curriculum. This
web activity will not show every lesson we completed
to answer our two essential questions. There are
many ways to find the answer. We also needed to
follow our Texas State Standards and our school
district benchmark targets.

Earth
materials are solid rocks and soils, water, and the gases
of the atmosphere. The varied materials have different physical
and chemical properties, which make them useful in different
ways, for example, as building materials, as sources of
fuel, or for growing the plants we use as food. Earth materials
provide many of the resources that humans use.

Some
changes in the solid Earth can be described as the "rock
cycle." Old rocks at the Earth's surface weather, forming
sediments that are buried, then compacted, heated, and often
recrystallized into new rock.

SCIENCE
IN PERSONAL AND SOCIAL PERSPECTIVES STANDARDS
An important purpose of science education is to give students
a means to understand and act on personal and social issues.
The science in personal and social perspectives standards
help students develop decision-making skills. Understandings
associated with the content standards give students a foundation
on which to base decisions they will face as citizens.
