3. Standards/Objective EARTH SCIENCE – Earth Systems K-7 Standard E.ES: Develop an understanding of the warming of the Earth by the sun as the major source of energy for phenomenon on Earth and how the sun’s warming relates to weather, climate, seasons, and the water cycle. Understand how human interaction and use of natural resources affects the environment. E.ES.03.41 Identify natural resources (metals, fuels, fresh water, farmland, and forests). Objective: To learn the stages of the water cycle. Click here to continue

4. Introduction This STAIR is designed for Mrs. Territo’s imaginary 3 rd grade class. This STAIR is designed for Mrs. Territo’s imaginary 3 rd grade class. You are to work through this project alone. Learning the stages of the water cycle is your goal. The Menu page shows you the different places you can go to learn about each stage. Use the buttons at the bottom to move through the project. You will be given mini-tests along the way to check your learning. Have Fun!
