Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for phenomena. (MS-ESS2-3)
ESS2.A: Earth’s Materials and Systems

Scale Proportion and Quantity
Patterns in rates of change and other numerical relationships can provide information about natural systems. (MS-ESS2-3)
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)
