Earth & Space Science

ESS Lesson 1. Weather and Climate

____________________ describes the conditions outside

your window on a single day, like _________________. It is

a combination of temperature, wind speed, wind

direction, and precipitation.

Meteorologists use _______________________________

and other tools to describe the weather and forecast what it

will be in the future.


Scientists and engineers work together to predict

_____________________________________ (such as

thunderstorms, flooding rain, tornadoes, hurricanes,

and blizzards) and ________________________________

to reduce the impact (such as lighting rods, wind-resistant

roofs, and flood barriers).

Weather vs. Climate

Weather is what is happening outside each _____________.

________________________ is the weather patterns over

_______________________ periods of time (10, 20, 100

years, or more).


ESS Lesson 2. Weathering, Erosion, Deposition and

Landforms

Weathering is when wind, water, ice, and tree roots work

to ______________________________________________

________________________________________________

over many, many years.

Erosion is when rock sediment is ___________________

by wind or water.

As _____________________________ occurs over time,

layers of sediment build upon each other and form layers of

rock.

Patterns in rock formations

provide ___________________

of what the area was like long,

long ago.


Over millions of years,

weathering, erosion, and

deposition can create

interesting

______________________.

Some landforms, like volcanoes, mountain ranges, and

deep ocean trenches, occur along ___________________

________________________________________________.

Earthquakes occur along these boundaries, too.

Scientists and engineers work together to develop

solutions that reduce the impact of earthquakes and other

natural hazards. For example,

________________________________________________

are designed to withstand shaking.


ESS Lesson 3. Energy, Natural Resources, and Renewable

Energy

We can get energy from many

________________________________________, including

coal, oil, natural gas, wind, moving water, and sunlight.

Non-Renewable Resources

(can NOT be replaced or made again)

Renewable Resources

(can be replenished/replaced)

Our use of fossil fuels affects the

________________________________________.


ESS Lesson 4. Solar System, Apparent Motion, and Gravity

The Earth’s ________________ and __________________,

and the orbit of the Moon around the Earth, cause

_______________________________________________:

o Day and night

o Changes in shadows over a day

o Changes in apparent position of

the Sun, Moon and stars at

different times

Stars vary greatly in their _____________________ from

Earth and this can explain their relative _________________

and ______________________________.

o Closer = _____________________________________

o Farther away = smaller

Gravity Summary:

A _____________________ that pulls objects together.

Keeps the ____________________ in orbit around the Sun.

Pulls objects _____________________________________.

Keeps the ___________________ in orbit around the Earth.


ESS Lesson 5. Water and Earth’s Resources

Most of Earth’s water is salt water in the _______________.

Most of Earth’s fresh water is in ______________________

or ____________________________.

Only a very small amount of fresh water is available for us to

use, and all living organisms need fresh water to

_____________________.

Fresh water is cleaned and recycled naturally through the

______________________________:

Water is just one important resource on Earth. There are

many things that people and communities can do to

protect all of Earth’s _____________________________ .


Life Science

LS Lesson 1. Life Cycles

A ____________________ is the series of changes or

stages that a living organism goes through during its lifetime.

Although life cycles can be somewhat different in

different types of organisms, all living things go through

_______________________________________________:

o _____________________

o growth and development

o reproduction

o death

All animals and plants go through these same 4 stages.

LS Lesson 2. Traits and Fossils

Different organisms vary in how they look and what they can

do because they have different ______________________.

____________________________________________

(such as lack of rainfall or extreme temperatures) can affect

the traits that an organism develops.

___________________ provide ____________________

about the types of organisms that existed long ago.


LS Lesson 3. Survival in a Habitat

Differences in characteristics between individuals of the

same species can provide advantages in

________________________ and ___________________.

Particular organisms or species can only survive in particular

_______________________.


LS Lesson 4. Structures and Functions of Organisms

All living organisms (both animals and plants) have

________________________________________________

structures that help them ____________________________

________________________________________________.

Animal Structures (External and Internal)


External Structures of Plants & Their Functions


LS Lesson 5. Photosynthesis and Food Webs

Food energy provides plants and animals with the material

(matter) and energy they need for ___________________

_________________________ (growth, repair, motion,

and warmth).

Photosynthesis: light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide

from the air, and water are changed into food (sugar) in the

leaves of a plant. Oxygen is released.

_______________________________ are models that

show the movement of ______________________ between

_______________________________________________

in an ecosystem.


Physical Science

PS Lesson 1. Forces, Motion, and Magnetism

Objects can either be _______________________ (still, not

moving) or they can be _____________________ (moving)!

_________________ forces on an object cause the motion

of an object to _________________.

The motion of an object is changing when the object is…

o speeding up

o slowing down or _____________________

o changing __________________________

Some forces (like ______________________ and

__________________________________) do not need to

touch an object to affect its motion.

Magnetic Forces


PS Lesson 2. Motion and Energy Transfer

The ____________________ an object is moving, the more

kinetic energy it has.

more speed = more __________________________

3 Main Ideas

1) When objects collide, the motion of the objects can _________

2) Energy can change from one form to ___________________

3) Energy can be ___________________________ (moved) from

one place to another through…

- colliding objects

- ___________________________

PS Lesson 3. Wave Energy – Mechanical, Light, and Sound

Energy can travel in _____________________.

Different types of waves:

o _____________________

o _____________________

o _____________________

We _____________ objects because light from a light

source (like the sun or a light bulb) __________________ off

the object and enters our __________________.

Every object

_______________________.

Some objects (like mirrors) reflect

better than others.

All waves ______________________________________.

All waves move in a regular ________________________.

Since waves transfer energy, some waves can make objects

________________.


Important Wave Properties
