NC State Standards
- 4.E.2.1: Students know that fossils are evidence of living organisms that once existed on Earth. Students know that fossils share some characteristics based on where, how, and from what they formed. Students know that some organisms that lived long ago are similar to existing organisms, but some are quite different. Students know that organisms that are alive today, will, under the right conditions, leave fossil evidence.
- 4.E.2.2: Students know that fossils provide information about the environmental conditions that existed when the fossil organism was alive, as well as information about where, when and how, the organism lived.
- 4.E.2.3: Students know that the surface of the earth changes over time. Students know that there are many factors that contribute to these changes. Students know that such changes may be slow or rapid, subtle or drastic. Erosion and weathering are processes that change the Earth. Wind, water (including ice), and chemicals break down rock and can carry soil from one place to another. Under the right conditions, gravity can cause large sections of soil and rock to move suddenly down an incline. This is known as a landslide. Volcanic eruptions occur when heat and pressure of melted rock and gases under the ground cause the crust of the Earth to crack and release these materials. Solid rock can deform or break if it is subject to sufficient pressure. The vibration produced by this is called an earthquake.
