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)

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)

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 relationships can provide information about natural systems.               (MS-ESS2-3)
