The Environmental Science High School Supplemental SEEd Standards explore the energy and material resources found on Earth and how these resources are obtained, used, managed, and conserved to support sustainable societies and ecosystems. Students model and analyze data to explain the organizations, factors, cycles, and changes that determine dynamic ecosystems. Students construct arguments for the risks and benefits of using renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and design energy management plans to identify sustainable energy solutions. Students construct explanations for how humans obtain and use natural resources; why resources can be abundant, scarce, and/or scattered around the world; and design a resource management plan to identify sustainable methods of obtaining and using resources. Students create arguments and explanations for how human use of natural and energy resources have an effect on the environment and what can be done to reduce or reverse human impacts on environments.Â
