HS-ETS1-4 Evidence Statement
Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science: Engineering Design – Evidence Statement 4 HS-ETS1-4: Use a computer simulation to model the impact of proposed solutions to a complex real-world problem with numerous criteria and constraints on interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.
HS-ETS1-3 Evidence Statement
Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science: Engineering Design – Evidence Statement 3 HS-ETS1-3: Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.
HS-ETS1-2 Evidence Statement
Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science: Engineering Design – Evidence Statement 2 HS-ETS1-2: Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.
HS-ETS1-1 Evidence Statement
Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science: Engineering Design – Evidence Statement 1 HS-ETS1-1: Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.
HS-ESS3-6 Evidence Statement
Earth and Space Science: Earth and Human Activity – Evidence Statement 6 HS-ESS3-6: Use a computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity. [Clarification Statement: Examples of Earth systems to be considered are the hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and/or biosphere. An example of the far-reaching impacts from a human activity is how an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide…
HS-ESS3-5 Evidence Statement
Earth and Space Science: Earth and Human Activity – Evidence Statement 5 HS-ESS3-5: Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth systems. [Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence, for both data and climate model outputs, are for climate changes (such as precipitation and temperature) and their associated impacts…
HS-ESS3-4 Evidence Statement
Earth and Space Science: Earth and Human Activity – Evidence Statement 4 HS-ESS3-4: Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems.* [Clarification Statement: Examples of data on the impacts of human activities could include the quantities and types of pollutants released, changes to biomass and species diversity, or areal changes in land surface use (such as for urban development, agriculture and livestock, or…
HS-ESS3-3 Evidence Statement
Earth and Space Science: Earth and Human Activity – Evidence Statement 3 HS-ESS3-3: Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity. [Clarification Statement: Examples of factors that affect the management of natural resources include costs of resource extraction and waste management, per-capita consumption, and the development of new technologies. Examples of factors that affect human sustainability include agricultural…
HS-ESS3-2 Evidence Statement
Earth and Space Science: Earth and Human Activity – Evidence Statement 2 HS-ESS3-2: Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on cost-benefit ratios.* [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the conservation, recycling, and reuse of resources (such as minerals and metals) where possible, and on minimizing impacts where it is not. Examples include developing best practices for agricultural soil use, mining (for coal, tar…
HS-ESS3-1 Evidence Statement
Earth and Space Science: Earth and Human Activity – Evidence Statement 1 HS-ESS3-1: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. [Clarification Statement: Examples of key natural resources include access to fresh water (such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater), regions of fertile soils such as river deltas, and high concentrations of minerals and…
