Science and Engineering Practices
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)
Analyzing and Interpreting Data
Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for phenomena (MS-ESS2-3)
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)
Disciplinary Core Ideas
ESS2.A: Earth’s Materials and Systems
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)
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 andEarth’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)
Crosscutting Concepts
Stability and Change
Explanations of stability and change in natural or designed systems can be constructed by examining the changes over time and processes at different scales
, including the atomic scale. (MS-ESS2-1)
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 relationshipscan provide information about natural systems. (MS-ESS2-3)
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)
