Grade 4 - Earth's Systems: Processes that Shape the Earth
In this Storyline, students develop an understanding of how evidence is gathered and used to explain the ways in which Earth has changed over time. They investigate cause-and-effect relationships of weathering and erosion, and analyze maps to discover patterns of Earth's features, including mountains, deep-ocean trenches, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Then students apply their understanding of Earth's processes to design a solution that solves a problem related to the effects of natural disasters.
