Science and Engineering Practices
Developing and Using Models
Develop and use a model to describe phenomena. (MS-ESS2-1)
Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
Construct a scientific explanation based on valid and reliable evidence obtained from sources (including the students’ own experiments) and the assumption that theories and laws that describe nature operate today as they did in the past and will continue to do so in the future. (MS-ESS2-2)
NOS: Scientific Knowledge is Open to Revision in Light of New Evidence
Scientific findings are frequently revised and/or reinterpreted based on new evidence. (MS-ESS2-3)
Analyzing and Interpreting Data
Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for phenomena (MS-ESS2-3)
Disciplinary Core Ideas
ESS2.A: Earth’s Materials and Systems
All Earth processes are the result of energy flowing and matter cycling within and among the planet’s systems. This energy is derived from the sun and Earth’s hot interior. The energy that flows and matter that cycles produce chemical and physical changes in Earth’s materials and living organisms. (MS-ESS2-1)
The planet’s systems interact over scales that range from microscopic to global in size, and they operate over fractions of a second to billions of years. These interactions have shaped Earth’s history and will determine its future. (MS-ESS2-2)
ESS2.B: Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions
Maps of ancient land and water patterns, based on investigations of rocks and fossils, make clear how Earth’s plates have moved great distances, collided, and spread apart. (MS-ESS2-3)
Crosscutting Concepts
Scale, Proportion and Quantity
Time, space, and energy phenomena can be observed at various scales using models to study systems that are too large or too small. (MS-ESS2-2)
Patterns
Patterns in rates of change and other numerical relationships can provide information about natural systems. (MS-ESS2-3)
