Concept Statement: Show Concept Overview
5 Waves, wind, water, and ice shape and reshape Earth's land surface.


Over-All Rating: Moderate coverage of this concept.
Investigations 1, 4 and 5 in the "Landforms" Module are extraneous to Grade 4 science content.


Features that do not help student learning:
Materials provide only limited coverage of standard 5b.


Ratings for Standards - FOSS:
5 Waves, wind, water, and ice shape and reshape Earth's land surface. Moderate   
5a Students know some changes in the earth are due to slow processes, such as erosion, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. Moderate   
5b Students know natural processes, including freezing and thawing and the growth of roots, cause rocks to break down into smaller pieces. Limited   
5c Students know moving water erodes landforms, reshaping the land by taking it away from some places and depositing it as pebbles, sand, silt, and mud in other places (weathering, transport, and deposition). Moderate
