Performance Expectations

K-LS1-1: Use observations to describe patterns of what plants, animals and humans need to survive. 

K-2-ETS1-1: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

2-ESS2-1: Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land.

3-LS3-2: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.

3-LS4-3: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some less well and some not at all.

4-ESS2-1: Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.

5-ESS3-1: Combine and obtain information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect Earth’s resources and environment. 

MS-LS1-5: Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.

MS-LS2-4: Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations. 

MS-ESS3-3: Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. 

HS-ESS2-5: Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes.

HS-ESS3-1: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity.

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