to demonstrate how silica from sand is used to make glass. (T/E 2.2) 2. Identify the physical properties of minerals (hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and streak), and explain how minerals can be tested for these different physical properties. Acquire a collection of minerals that includes (a) duplicates of the same mineral, somewhat different in appearance (size, shape, exact color) and (b) samples of minerals that look similar but are actually different. Examine minerals using a hand

vegetation on erosion, put soil in two shallow rectangular baking pans. Cover one pan with a layer of sod. Elevate one end of each pan. Compare and discuss the erosion caused by equal amounts of water running down each slope. Identify one manmade attribute that slows the erosion process (e.g., hay bales used at a construction site, silt fence protecting <span class="highlight">sand</span> dunes) and one attribute that accelerates it (e.g., paving a parking lot, cutting trees). Relate these to natural systems. (T/E 2.1, 2.4) The

(T/E 1.1, 2.3) 2. Compare and contrast solids, liquids, and gases based on the basic properties of each of these states of matter. Design several stations, each of which demonstrates a state of matter (e.g., water table, balloon and fan table, <span class="highlight">sand</span> and block table). Using given insulating materials, try to keep an ice cube from melting. (T/E 1.1) 3. Describe how water can be changed from one state to another by adding or taking away heat. Do simple investigations to observe evaporation

Technology/Engineering standards. Technology/Engineering standards for grades PreK–2 can be found on page 85; for grades 3–5, they can be found on page 86. Earth and Space Science Grades PreK–2, page 25 Standard #1 • Use a hand lens to observe and describe the components and properties of a sample of soil (e.g., color, texture, presence or absence of clumps). Extend the examination to moist topsoil. • For grades 1–2, conduct the experiment above with thoroughly wet soil and <span class="highlight">sand</span>. Observe again after

Earth and Space Science (cont.) Grades 3–5, pages 26–29 Standard #1 • Observe and describe the differences between quartz and mica. • With a hand lens, examine a sample of coarse <span class="highlight">sand</span> containing many kinds of grains. Also examine a collection of local rocks. Observe that rocks usually contain grains of many different minerals and that <span class="highlight">sand</span> grains can be pure minerals (e.g., quartz, mica). • Show examples of items made from minerals (e.g., jewelry, aluminum foil, cans, glass bottles). • Visit a

Life Science (Biology) (cont.) Grades 6–8, pages 51–53 (cont.) Standard #17 • Research natural and human-caused changes in some of the large-scale ecosystems (biomes) on earth. • Use computer simulations to model the growth of plants on a plot of land, or a <span class="highlight">sand</span> dune, or after a volcanic eruption. • Review the data (on websites) gathered by scientists who are conducting long-term ecological research. How are they monitoring rising sea levels? • Observe seasonal movement of barrier beaches. Compare
