16
6.E.1.1Explain how the relative motion and relative position of the sun, Earth and moon affect the seasons, tides, phases of the moon, and eclipses.YesNoNoYesSupport
17
6.E.1.2Explain why Earth sustains life while other planets do not based on their properties (including types of surface, atmosphere and gravitational force) and location to the Sun.NoNoYesYesSupport
18
6.E.1.3Summarize space exploration and the understandings gained from them.YesNoNoYesSupport
19
6.E.2Understand the structure of the earth and how interactions of constructive and destructive forces have

22
6.E.2.3Explain how the formation of soil is related to the parent rock type and the environment in which it develops.NoNoYesYesSupport
23
6.E.2.4Conclude that the good health of humans requires: monitoring the lithosphere, maintaining soil quality and stewardship.YesYesNoYesSupport

factors in their environment.		NoNoYesYesPower
28
6.L.2.1Summarize how energy derived from the sun is used by plants to produce sugars (photosynthesis) and is transferred within a food chain or food web (terrestrial and aquatic) from producers to consumers to decomposers.NoNoYesYesSupport
29
6.L.2.2Explain how plants respond to external stimuli (including dormancy and forms of tropism) to enhance survival in an
environment.		NoNoYesYesSupport
30
6.L.2.3Summarize how the abiotic factors (such as temperature, water, sunlight, and soil quality) of biomes (freshwater, marine, forest, grasslands, desert, Tundra) affect the ability of organisms to grow, survive and/or create their own food through photosynthesis.NoNoYesYesSupport
