Concept Statement: Show Concept Overview
3 Water on Earth moves between the oceans and land through the processes of evaporation and condensation.
Over-All Rating: Moderate coverage of this concept.
 |
Activities in "Water" Investigation 3 directly address the standards, but the other "Water" Investigations do not directly relate to the standards. The "Water" Science Stories provides most of the coverage of the standards in this topic. |
Features that help student learning:
"Water" Science Stories text is very engaging.
Features that do not help student learning:
Students have limited opportunities to actively engage with most of the standards in this topic.
Ratings for Standards - FOSS:
| 3 Water on Earth moves between the oceans and land through the processes of evaporation and condensation. |
Moderate |
|
| 3a Students know most of Earth's water is present as salt water in the oceans, which cover most of Earth's surface. |
Moderate |
|
| 3b Students know when liquid water evaporates, it turns into water vapor in the air and can reappear as a liquid when cooled or as a solid if cooled below the freezing point of water. |
In-Depth |
|
| 3c Students know water vapor in the air moves from one place to another and can form fog or clouds, which are tiny droplets of water or ice, and can fall to Earth as rain, hail, sleet, or snow. |
Moderate |
|
| 3d Students know that the amount of fresh water located in rivers, lakes, under-ground sources, and glaciers is limited and that its availability can be extended by recycling and decreasing the use of water. |
Moderate |
|
| 3e Students know the origin of the water used by their local communities. |
