No Clarification Statements or Assessment boundaries

The ideas in this standard are: 

- water is found in the oceans

- water is found in rivers

-water is found in lakes

- water is found in ponds

- water exists as a solid

- water exists as a liquid

When they say 'obtain' information, I think they mean that kids should be able to look at a map or maybe at a globe and point to places where water can be found.   Kids should know that water can be liquid or solid, but they do not yet need to know about water vapor.
