| Strand B | Energy | ||
| Standard | The student recognizes that energy may be changed in form with varying efficiency. | ||
| Benchmarks | |||
| SC.B.1.2.2.5 | The student recognizes various forms of energy (e.g., heat, light, and electricity). |
Clean Air and Water
|
|
| SC.B.1.2.4.5 | The student knows the many ways in which energy can be transformed from one type to another | Weather
|
|
| SC.B.1.2.5.5 | The student knows that various forms of energy (e.g., mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, nuclear, and radiant) can be measured in ways that make it possible to determine the amount of energy that is transformed | Clean Air and Water |

| Strand B | Energy | ||
| Standard | The student understands the interaction of matter and energy. | ||
| Benchmarks | |||
| SC.B.2.2.2.5 | The student recognizes the costs and risks to society and the environment posed by the use of nonrenewable energy. |
Conservation
|
|
| SC.B.2.2.3.5 | The student knows that the limited supply of usable energy sources (e.g., fuels such as coal or oil) places great significance on the development of renewable energy sources. |

| Strand G | How Living Things Interact with Their Environment | ||
| Standard |
The student understands the competitive, interdependent, cyclic nature of living things in the environment. |
||
| Benchmarks | |||
| SC.G.1.2.4.5 | The student knows that some organisms decompose dead plants and animals into simple minerals and nutrients for use by living things and thereby recycle matter. | Conservation
