 * Unit 1-Rocks, Minerals, Soils and Fossils
 * Rocks are composed of one or more minerals.
 * Different rocks have distinct physical characteristics.
 * Scientists classify rocks by the types of minerals present in their relative proportions, and the processes by which the rocks were formed. Of these processes, heat, pressure, and time are the most important.
 * There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.
 * Minerals are non-living, naturally occurring substances that have a definite chemical composition.
 * Soil is the top layer of the earth's surface, consisting of rock and mineral particles mixed with organic (living) matter, air, and water.
 * There are different types of soils. Each have properties of texture and color, capacity to retain water, and ability to support the growth of many kinds of plants.
 * The surface of the Earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes such as erosion and weathering (water and wind).
 * Fossils provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and the nature of the environment at that time.
 * Fossils are formed in different ways.
 * Fossils are mineralized remains of a dead organism. || * What are rocks?
 * What are minerals?
 * How are rocks and minerals alike and different?
 * How do we use rocks and minerals?
 * How do scientists classify rocks?
 * How do scientists classify soils?
 * How is soil formed?
 * Is all soil the same?
 * How do wind and water change rocks and soil over time?
 * What is a fossil?
 * Are there different types of fossils?
 * How are fossils formed?
 * What information about the original organism can you learn from a fossil?
 * Which organisms left fossils?
 * How old are fossils and how do you find out?
 * Why aren’t there fossils in all rocks?
 * Where are fossils most likely to be found? || * That rock is composed of different combinations of minerals.
 * Smaller rocks come from the breakage and weathering off larger rocks
 * Soil is partially made from weathered rock, plant remains, and also contains living organisms.
 * Georgia has a wide variety of rocks and soils.
 * That fossils can be compared to one another and to living organisms according to their similarities and differences.
 * Some organisms that lived long ago are similar to existing organisms, but some are quite different.
 * Specific conditions must exist in order for a fossil to form. || **__Harcourt Science Resources (Print):__**

 * Unit 2-Habitats of Georgia
 * Organisms can only survive in environments where their needs can be met.
 * A habitat is the natural environment of an organism; where it can grow and thrive.
 * An organism is any living thing such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms.
 * Different environments support the life of different types of organisms.
 * Plants and animals that live in the different regions of Georgia have distinct characteristics that allow them to grow and thrive in those regions.
 * Changes in habitats force organisms living there to die, change/adapt, or move.
 * Organisms interact with one another in many ways, including providing food or nutrients, shelter, and even competing for resources.
 * A food chain is the interrelatedness of various organisms in their feeding habits, the smallest being fed upon by a larger one, which in turn feeds a still larger one, etc.
 * A food web is a series of organisms related by predator-prey and consumer-resource interactions; the entirety of interrelated food chains in a particular environment. || * What is a habitat?
 * How are the 5 regions in Georgia - mountains, marsh/swamps, coast, Piedmont, Atlantic Ocean - different? How are they similar?
 * How do the characteristics of the habitat determine the organisms that live there?
 * How do the features of a plant help it survive in a certain region of Georgia?
 * How do an animal's features and/or characteristics allow it to live and thrive in its habitat?
 * How do changes in a habitat affect the organisms living there?
 * What is a food chain?
 * What is a food web?
 * Why is it important to protect the habitats of plants and animals? || * Georgia has many different habitats.
 * There are 5 main regions in Georgia - mountains, marsh/swamps, coast, Piedmont, and Atlantic Ocean.
 * Georgia's regions provide habitats for numerous organisms.
 * Different kinds of plants and animals survive well in a particular environment, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
 * The specific and unique features of different plants and animals allow it to thrive in its environment.
 * Changes to an organism’s habitat are sometimes beneficial to it and sometimes harmful.
 * Key Terms: habitat, environment, organism, geography, region, mountains, swamp, marsh, coast, coastal plain, Piedmont, Atlantic Ocean, ridge, valley, Appalacian Plateau, impact, interact, food chain, food web, natural, change, characteristics. || **__Harcourt Science Resources (Print):__**

 * Unit 4-Heat Energy
 * Heat energy can be produced and transferred in many ways, such as burning, rubbing, or mixing one substance with another.
 * Heat is a form of thermal energy.
 * The sun is the original source of heat energy.
 * The transfer of heat energy from the sun differs according to the materials involved.
 * Insulation slows down the transfer of heat.
 * Heat can move from one object to another by conduction.
 * Heat moves from a warmer object to a cooler one.
 * Some materials conduct heat energy much better than others.
 * Thermometers are used to measure changes in temperature. || * What is heat?
 * How is heat energy produced?
 * How is heat transferred?
 * How is heat energy from the sun transferred to materials on Earth?
 * What materials are good conductors of heat?
 * What materials make good insulators?
 * What is the difference between heat and temperature?
 * How does temperature affect the states of matter?
 * What causes objects to change temperature?
 * How can we prevent something from becoming hot?
 * What causes the liquid in a termometer to rise?
 * How many ways do we use a thermometer?
 * What causes water to change from liquid to solid and liquid to vapor? || * Key terms: heat, thermal energy, temperature, Celsius, Fahrenheit, thermostat, conduction, conductor, insulation, insulator, friction.
 * Heat is produced by mechanical and electrical machines, and any time one thing rubs against something else (friction).
 * When warmer things are put with cooler ones, the warm ones lose heat and the cool ones gain it until they are all the same temperature.
 * Some materials make good insulators. Good insulators reduce heat loss.
 * Some materials conduct heat much better than others. Good conductors can speed up heat loss.
 * A thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperature.
 * There are two scales used to measure temperature: Celsius and Fahrenheit. Celsius is the metric scale and is the one most often used by scientists. || **__Harcourt Science Resources (Print):__**

 * Unit 5-Pollution and Conservation
 * Pollution is a change in the environment that negatively influences the health, survival, or activities of organisms, including humans.
 * Some environmental changes occur slowly, and others occur rapidly.
 * When the environment changes, some plants and animals survive and reproduce, and others die or move to new locations.
 * All organisms cause changes in the environment where they live. Some of these changes are detrimental to the organism or other organisms, whereas others are beneficial.
 * Resources are things that we get from the living and nonliving environment to meet the needs and wants of a population.
 * Some resources are basic materials, such as air, water, and soil; some are produced from basic resources, such as food, fuel, and building materials.
 * The supply of resources is limited, however resources can be extended through recycling and decreased use.
 * Different consequences to the environment and organisms occur when changes happen quickly rather than slowly over time.
 * Each person needs to do their part to help protect the environment. || * What is pollution?
 * What is conservation?
 * What are renewable resources?
 * What is recycling?
 * How do I identify, distinguish, and correct the effects of pollution?
 * What are some ways that people harm the environment?
 * How does conservation protect our environment?
 * How does recycling help reduce pollution?
 * What are the effects of pollution on plants and their habitats?
 * What are the effects of pollution on animals and their habitats?
 * What are some things that you can do to help keep our school environment clean? || * Changes in an organism’s habitat are sometimes beneficial to it and sometimes harmful.
 * Different forms and causes of air, water and land pollution.
 * Ways to protect the environment through recycling, conservation, promoting the use of renewable resources, and not littering.
 * Discarded products contribute to the problem of waste disposal.
 * Sometimes it is possible to use discarded materials to make new products, but materials differ widely in the ease with which they can be recycled.
 * Key Terms: pollution, littering, acid rain, renewable resources, recycling, nonrenewable resources, habitat, biodegradable, conservation. ||
