MS-ESS3-1
Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how the uneven distributions of Earths mineral, energy, and groundwater resources are the result of past and current geoscience processes. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on how these resources are limited and typically non-renewable, and how their distributions are significantly changing as a result of removal by humans. … Read More “MS-ESS3-1”

Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system.
October 1, 2018MS-LS4-4
Construct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals? probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment.
October 1, 2018MS-LS4-5
Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
October 1, 2018MS-LS4-6
Use mathematical representations to support explanations of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific traits in populations over time.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-1
Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-2
Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-3
Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society.
October 1, 2018MS-LS2-1
Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-4
Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
October 1, 2018MS-LS2-2
Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-5
Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved.
