Use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.
October 1, 2018MS-ESS3-3
Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.* [Clarification Statement: Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage … Read More “MS-ESS3-3”
October 1, 2018HS-LS2-3
Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobicand anaerobic conditions.
October 1, 2018MS-ESS3-4
Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earths systems. [Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence include grade-appropriate databases on human populations and the rates of consumption of food and natural resources (such as freshwater, mineral, and energy). Examples of impacts can include changes to … Read More “MS-ESS3-4”

Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem.
October 1, 2018MS-ESS3-5
Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. [Clarification Statement: Examples of factors include human activities (such as fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and agricultural activity) and natural processes (such as changes in incoming solar radiation or volcanic activity). Examples of evidence can … Read More “MS-ESS3-5”
