Investigation 2

Terms in this table:

• “Investigation” is the number of the investigation
• “Materials Concept Code” is a reference number based on the science concepts and processes listed in the Overview section of the teacher’s manual
• “Materials Concept” is the text of the science concept or processes listed in the teacher’s manual
• “Indicator Code” is a reference number based on Cumulative Progress Indicators from the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (2002)
• “Framework Indicator Text” is the text of the progress indicator; the conceptual “strand” for the indicator is in parentheses

Investigation	Materials Concept Code	Materials Concept	Indicator Code	Framework Indicator Text
02	c04	Curved surfaces create horizons, which interrupt the line of sight.	5.09.6.A.2	2. Recognize that changes in the Earth's position relative to the sun produces differing amounts of daylight seasonally. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
