Standards: Science
The science standards include both NGSS and Michigan Science Standards.
HS-ESS1-1
(1)
Education Level HS
Develop a model based on evidence to illustrate the life span of the sun and the role of nuclear fusion in the sun's core to release energy that eventually reaches Earth in the form of radiation.
HS-ESS1-2
(2)
Education Level HS
Construct an explanation of the Big Bang theory based on astronomical evidence of light spectra motion of distant galaxies and composition of matter in the universe.
HS-ESS1-3
(1)
Education Level HS
Communicate scientific ideas about the way stars over their life cycle produce elements.
HS-ESS1-4
(1)
Education Level HS
Use mathematical or computational representations to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the solar system.
HS-ESS1-5
(0)
Education Level HS
Evaluate evidence of the past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks.
HS-ESS1-6
(1)
Education Level HS
Apply scientific reasoning and evidence from ancient Earth materials meteorites and other planetary surfaces to construct an account of Earth's formation and early history.
HS-ESS2-1
(0)
Education Level HS
Develop a model to illustrate how Earth's internal and surface processes operate at different spatial and temporal scales to form continental and ocean-floor features.
HS-ESS2-2
(0)
Education Level HS
Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth's surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth systems.
HS-ESS2-3
(0)
Education Level HS
Develop a model based on evidence of Earth's interior to describe the cycling of matter by thermal convection.
HS-ESS2-4
(1)
Education Level HS
Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth systems result in changes in climate.
HS-ESS2-5
(0)
Education Level HS
Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes.
HS-ESS2-6
(0)
Education Level HS
Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere atmosphere geosphere and biosphere.
