Standard+E+Earth+&+Space+Science

// **Content Standard:** Students in Wisconsin will demonstrate an understanding of the structure and systems of earth and other bodies in the universe and of their interactions. // // By studying earth, its composition, history, and the processes that shape it, students gain a better understanding of the planet on which they live. In addition, all bodies in space, including earth, are influenced by forces acting throughout the solar system and the universe. Studying the universe enhances students' understanding of earth's origins, its place in the universe, and its future. Understanding these geologic, meteorological, astronomical, and oceanographic processes allows students to make responsible choices and to evaluate the consequences of their choices. //

 * Christy Elmer**
 * Standard E:** Earth and Space Science
 * Title:** Astronomy
 * Grade Level:** 4th,5th,6th
 * Description:** This book is full of interesting facts about the stars and planets. It gives students the history of astronomy as well. The book also contains a star finder wheel and glow in the dark star stickers. This would be a great resource in the classroom that would be paired great with a star gazing night field trip!

 * Title:** Rocks and earth materials
 * Link:** [|http://www.geology.wisc.edu/~museum/]
 * Description and connection to standard:** This web site provides information about the University of Wisconsin Geology Museum. The museum is open for student tours and conducts scavenger hunts for children in grades 4-8. Inside the museum are hundreds of rocks, minerals and fossils to look at and explore. The site also includes lesson plans, teacher resources and links to other geoscience sites. The site (and a visit to the museum!), addresses Standard E by allowing students to investigate earth materials, including many rocks and minerals common in Wisconsin.
 * Grade level:** Information from this site could be used with students from Pre-K to 8th grade.
