WI Modified NGSS3-5Crosscutting ConceptsSCI.CC4.3-5Systems and System ModelsStudents understand a system is a group of related parts that make up a whole and can carry out functions its individual parts cannot. They also describe a system in terms of its components and their interactions.
WI Modified NGSS3-5Earth and Space SciencesSCI.ESS2.E.4BiogeologyLiving things can affect the physical characteristics of their environment.
WI Modified NGSS3-5Earth and Space SciencesSCI.ESS3.A.4Natural ResourcesEnergy and fuels humans use are derived from natural sources, and their use affects the environment. Some resources are renewable over time, others are not.
WI Modified NGSS3-5Earth and Space SciencesSCI.ESS3.C.5Human Impacts on Earth SystemsSocietal activities have had major effects on the land, ocean, atmosphere, and even outer space. Societal activities can also help protect Earth's resources and environments.
WI Modified NGSS3-5Physical ScienceSCI.PS3.A.4Definitions of EnergyMoving objects contain energy. . .
WI Modified NGSS3-5Physical ScienceSCI.PS3.B.4Conservation of Energy and Energy TransferEnergy can be moved from place to place by moving objects, or through sound, light, or electrical currents. Energy can be converted from one form to another form.
WI Modified NGSS3-5Physical ScienceSCI.PS3.D.5Energy in Chemical Processes and Everyday LifeStored energy in food or fuel can be converted to useable energy.
WI Modified NGSS3-5Science and Engineering PracticesSCI.SEP1.A.3-5Asking QuestionsStudents ask questions that specify qualitative relationships. This includes the following: Ask questions about what would happen if a variable is changed. . . Ask questions that can be investigated and predict reasonable outcomes based on patterns such as cause and effect relationships.
WI Modified NGSS3-5Science and Engineering PracticesSCI.SEP1.A.mAsking QuestionsStudents ask questions to specify relationships between variables and clarify arguments and models. . . . This includes the following: Ask questions that require sufficient and appropriate empirical evidence to answer.
WI Modified NGSS6-8Crosscutting ConceptsSCI.CC3.mScale, Proportion, and QuantityStudents observe time, space, and energy phenomena at various scales using models to study systems that are too large or too small. . .
WI Modified NGSS6-8Crosscutting ConceptsSCI.CC4.mSystems and System ModelsStudents . . . use models to represent systems and their interactions such as inputs, processes, and outputs; and energy, matter, and information flows within systems.
WI Modified NGSS6-8Earth and Space SciencesSCI.ESS3.A.mNatural ResourcesHumans depend on Earth's land, oceans, fresh water, atmosphere, and biosphere for different resources, many of which are limited or not renewable. . .
WI Modified NGSS6-8Earth and Space SciencesSCI.ESS3.C.mHuman Impacts on Earth SystemsHuman activities have altered the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere which in turn has altered the biosphere. Changes to the biosphere can have different impacts for different living things.
WI Modified NGSSK-12Science and Engineering PracticesSCI.SEP2Developiong ModelsStudents develop and use models, in conjunction with using crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas, to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.
WI Modified NGSSK-12Science and Engineering PracticesSCI.SEP3.APlanning and Conducting InvestigationsStudents plan and carry out investigations, in conjunction with using crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas, to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.
