Curriculum connections

Direct connections address a component of a standard, not the entire expectation. Supplemental connections support instruction or extend a lesson. Summaries are paraphrased from current official TEA standards.

Elementary school

5th Grade Science

TEKS 5.10(C)Supplemental connection

Model and identify how wind, water or ice form landforms including deltas, canyons and sand dunes.

Static terrain supports landform visualization but not causal process modeling. Pair with wind, water and ice investigations and suitable examples.

Middle school

6th Grade Science

TEKS 6.1(G)Supplemental connection

Develop and use models representing phenomena, systems, processes or engineering solutions.

Use a layered terrain model as enrichment. Contour-map reading is not a direct content requirement in this modeling practice.

7th Grade Science

TEKS 7.1(G)Supplemental connection

Develop and use models representing phenomena, systems, processes or engineering solutions.

Use a layered terrain model as enrichment. Contour-map reading is not a direct content requirement in this modeling practice.

8th Grade Science

TEKS 8.1(G)Supplemental connection

Develop and use models representing phenomena, systems, processes or engineering solutions.

Use a layered terrain model as enrichment. Contour-map reading is not a direct content requirement in this modeling practice.
