Performance Expectations

K-ESS2-1: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.

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

2-ESS1-1: Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly.

4-ESS3-1: Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.

MS-ESS3-4: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems.

MS-ESS3-5: Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century.

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