EARTH SCIENCE ACTIVITIES

Earth Science Standards:

1. Describe how night and day are caused by Earth's rotation.

2. Explain that Earth is one of several planets to orbit the sun,
and that the moon orbits Earth.

3. Describe the characteristics of Earth and its orbit about the
sun (e.g., three-fourths of Earth's surface is covered by a
layer of water [some of it frozen], the entire planet
surrounded by a thin blanket of air, elliptical orbit, tilted
axis and spherical planet).

4. Explain that stars are like the sun, some being smaller and
some larger, but so far away that they look like points of
light.

5. Explain how the supply of many non-renewable resources
is limited and can be extended through reducing, reusing
and recycling but cannot be extended indefinitely.

6. Investigate ways Earth's renewable resources (e.g., fresh
water, air, wildlife and trees) can be maintained.
