# SKE2: Earth Materials Overview

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe the physical attributes of earth materials (soil, rocks, water, and air).

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: Kindergarten, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/kindergarten.md

## Expectations

- **SKE2.a**: Ask questions to identify and describe earth materials—soil, rocks, water, and air.
- **SKE2.b**: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how rocks can be grouped by physical attributes (size, weight, texture, color).
- **SKE2.c**: Use tools to observe and record physical attributes of soil such as texture and color.

## Georgia Milestones coverage

No Georgia Milestones blueprint cites this standard.
