E-ESS1: : Earth’s Place in the Universe

E-ESS1-1: : Develop a model based on evidence to illustrate that energy generated by nuclear fusion within the sun (and other stars) radiates to and influences orbiting planets.

E-ESS1-2: : Construct an explanation of the Big Bang Theory based on evidence to show that the universe is changing over time.

E-ESS1-3: : Construct an explanation using evidence to explain the ways elements are produced over the life cycle of a star.

E-ESS1-4: : Use mathematical or computational representations to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the universe due to gravity.

E-ESS1-5: : Evaluate evidence of the past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks.

E-ESS2: : Earth’s Systems

E-ESS2-1: : Use evidence to argue how Earth’s internal and external processes operate to form and modify continental and ocean-floor features throughout Earth’s history.

E-ESS2-2: : Analyze data to make the claim that one change to Earth’s surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth systems.

E-ESS2-3: : Develop a model based on evidence of Earth’s interior that describes cycling of matter through convection processes.

E-ESS2-4: : Use a model to describe how causes of short and long-term variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems result in changes to climate.

E-ESS2-5: : Investigate the ways that water (given its unique physical and chemical properties) impacts various Earth systems.

E-ESS2-6: : Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon through the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.

E-ESS3: : Earth and Human Activity

E-ESS3-3: : Use computational representation to illustrate the relationships among the management of Earth’s resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity.

E-ESS3-4: : Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems.

E-ESS3-5: : Analyze data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of regional or global climate change and associated future impacts to Earth’s systems.

E-ESS3-6: : Use a computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity.
