1: : Earth and Space

1.2: : Weather & Climate

HS.E1U1.11: : Analyze and interpret data to determine how energy from the Sun affects weather patterns and climate.

HS+E.E1U1.1: : Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the Sun’s energy transfers between Earth’s systems.

HS+E.E1U1.2: : Develop and use models to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems result in changes in climate.

HS+E.E1U1.3: : Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make evidence-based predictions of current rate and scale of global or regional climate changes.

1.3: : Roles of Water in Earth’s Surface Processes

HS.E1U1.12: : Develop and use models of the Earth that explains the role of energy and matter in Earth’s constantly changing internal and external systems (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere).

HS+E.E1U1.4: : Analyze and interpret geoscience data to make the claim that dynamic interactions with Earth’s surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth systems.

HS+E.E1U1.5: : Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information on the effect of water on Earth’s materials, surface processes, and groundwater systems.

1.4: : Earth’s Systems

HS+E.E1U1.6: : Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information of the theory of plate tectonics to explain the differences in age, structure, and composition of Earth’s crust.

HS+E.E1U1.8: : Develop and use models to illustrate how Earth's internal and surface processes operate over time to form, modify, and recycle continental and ocean floor features.

1.5: : Earth and Human Activity

HS.E1U3.14: : Engage in argument from evidence about the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, changes in climate, and human activity and how they influence each other.

HS+E.E1U3.10: : Ask questions, define problems, and evaluate a solution to a complex problem, based on prioritized criteria and tradeoffs, that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

HS+E.E1U3.11: : Develop and use a quantitative model to illustrate the relationship among Earth systems and the degree to which those relationships are being modified due to human activity.

1.7: : Earth’s Place in the Universe

HS.E2U1.15: : Construct an explanation based on evidence to illustrate the role of nuclear fusion in the life cycle of a star.

HS+E.E2U1.12: : Obtain, evaluate, and communicate scientific information about the way stars, throughout their stellar stages, produce elements and energy.

1.8: : Earth and the Solar System

HS.E2U1.16: : Construct an explanation of how gravitational forces impact the evolution of planetary motion, structure, surfaces, atmospheres, moons, and rings.

HS+E.E2U1.13: : Analyze and interpret data showing how gravitational forces are influenced by mass and the distance between objects.

HS+E.E2U1.14: : Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain the movement of planets and objects in the solar system.

1.9: : The Universe and its Stars

HS.E2U1.17: : Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence.

HS+E.E2U1.16: : Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about patterns of size and scale of our solar system, our galaxy, and the universe.
