Earth’s Systems: Processes That Shape the Earth

 

Students who demonstrate understanding can:

 

 

Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly. 2-ESS1-1

Clarification Statement and Assessment Boundary

Clarification Statement: Examples of events and timescales could include volcanic explosions and earthquakes, which happen quickly and erosion of rocks, which occurs slowly.

Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include quantitative measurements of timescales.

 

Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land. 2-ESS2-1

Clarification Statement and Assessment Boundary

Clarification Statement: Examples of solutions could include different designs of dikes and windbreaks to hold back wind and water, and different designs for using shrubs, grass, and trees to hold back the land.

Assessment Boundary: none

 

Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area. 2-ESS2-2

Clarification Statement and Assessment Boundary

Clarification Statement: none

Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include quantitative scaling in models.

 

Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid. 2-ESS2-3

Clarification Statement and Assessment Boundary

Clarification Statement: none

Assessment Boundary: none

Science and Engineering Practices

Developing and Using Models

Modeling in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to include using and developing models (i.e., diagram, drawing, physical replica, diorama, dramatization, or storyboard) that represent concrete events or design solutions.

Develop a model to represent patterns in the natural world. (2-ESS2-2)

Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions

Constructing explanations and designing solutions in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to the use of evidence and ideas in constructing evidence-based accounts of natural phenomenon and designing solutions.

Make observations from several sources to construct an evidence-based account for natural phenomena. (2-ESS1-1)

Compare multiple solutions to a problem. (2-ESS2-1)

Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information

Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information in K–2 builds on prior experiences and uses observations and texts to communicate new information.

Obtain information using various texts, text features (e.g., headings, tables of contents, glossaries, electronic menus, icons), and other media that will be useful in answering a scientific question. (2-ESS2-3)

Crosscutting Concepts

Patterns

Patterns in the natural world can be observed. (2-ESS2-2), (2-ESS2-3)

Stability and Change

Things may change slowly or rapidly. (2-ESS1-1), (2-ESS2-1)

Connections to Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science

Influence of Science, Engineering, and Technology on Society and the Natural World

Developing and using technology has impacts on the natural world. (2-ESS2-1)

Connections to Nature of Science

Science Addresses Questions About the Natural and Material World

Scientists study the natural and material world. (2-ESS2-1)
