Science Content Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (1998)

Physical Sciences

1. Properties of materials can be observed, measured, and predicted. As a basis for understanding this concept:

a. Students know objects can be described in terms of the materials they are made of (e.g., clay, cloth, paper) and their physical properties (e.g., color, size, shape, weight, texture, flexibility, attraction to magnets, floating, sinking).

Earth Sciences

3. Earth is composed of land, air, and water. As a basis for understanding this concept:

a. Students know characteristics of mountains, rivers, oceans, valleys, deserts, and local landforms.

Earth Sciences

3. Earth is made of materials that have distinct properties and provide resources for human activities. As a basis for understanding this concept:

b. Students know smaller rocks come from the breakage and weathering of larger rocks.

Earth Sciences

5. Waves, wind, water, and ice shape and reshape Earth's land surface. As a basis for understanding this concept:

a. Students know some changes in the earth are due to slow processes, such as erosion, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.

Investigation and Experimentation

6. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:

c. Formulate and justify predictions based on cause-and-effect relationships.
