SCI-MS.ESS1DCI Earth Space Science ESS1Earth's Place in the UniversePerformance ExpectationsESS1 helps students formulate an answer to questions such as:
The ESS1 Disciplinary Core Idea is broken down into three sub-ideas: the universe and its stars, Earth and the solar system and the history of planet Earth . Students examine the Earth’s place in relation to the solar system, Milky Way Galaxy, and universe. There is a strong emphasis on a systems approach, using models of the solar system to explain astronomical and other observations of the cyclic patterns of eclipses, tides, and seasons. There is also a strong connection to engineering through the instruments and technologies that have allowed us to explore the objects in our solar system and obtain the data that support the theories that explain the formation and evolution of the universe . Students examine geoscience data in order to understand the processes and events in Earth’s history. Calculation Method for DCIDisciplinary Core Ideas are larger groups of related Performance Expectations. So the Disciplinary Core Idea Grade is a calculation of all the related Performance Expectations. So click on the Performance Expectation name below each Disciplinary Core Idea to access the learning targets and proficiency scales for each Disciplinary Core Idea's related Performance Expectations. |

SCI-MS.ESS1.028th Grade (SCI) Earth Space Science Standards SCI-MS.ESS1.02 Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system..Clarification Statement: Emphasis for the model is on gravity as the force that holds together the solar system and Milky Way
galaxy and controls orbital motions within them. Examples of models can be physical (such as the analogy
of distance along a football field or computer visualizations of elliptical orbits) or conceptual (such as
mathematical proportions relative to the size of familiar objects such as students’ school or state). Student Learning Targets:Knowledge Targets

SCI-MS.ESS1.038th Grade (SCI) Earth Space Science Standards SCI-MS.ESS1.03 Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system.Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the analysis of data from Earth-based instruments, space-based telescopes, and spacecraft
to determine similarities and differences among solar system objects. Examples of scale properties include
the sizes of an object’s layers (such as crust and atmosphere), surface features (such as volcanoes), and
orbital radius. Examples of data include statistical information, drawings and photographs, and models. Student Learning Targets:Knowledge Targets

SCI-MS.ESS1.048th Grade (SCI) Earth Space Science Standards SCI-MS.ESS1.04 Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth's 4.6-billion-year-old history.Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on how analyses of rock formations and the fossils they contain are used to establish relative
ages of major events in Earth’s history. Examples of Earth’s major events could range from being very
recent (such as the last Ice Age or the earliest fossils of Homo sapiens) to very old (such as the formation of
Earth or the earliest evidence of life). Examples can include the formation of mountain chains and ocean
basins, the evolution or extinction of particular living organisms, or significant volcanic eruptions. Student Learning Targets:Knowledge Targets

SCI-MS.ESS2DCI Earth Space Science ESS2Earth's SystemsPerformance ExpectationsESS2 help students formulate an answer to questions such as:
The ESS2 Disciplinary Core Idea is broken down into five sub - ideas: Earth materials and systems, plate tectonics and large - scale system interactions, the roles of water in Earth’s surface processes , weather and climate, and biogeology. Students understand how Earth’s geo-systems operate by modeling the flow of energy and cycling of matter within and among different systems. Students investigate the controlling properties of important materials and construct explanations based on the analysis of real geoscience data. Of special importance in both topics are the ways that geoscience processes provide resources needed by society but also cause natural hazards that present risks to society; both involve technological challenges, for the identification and development of resources. Students develop understanding of the factors that control weather. A systems approach is also important here, examining the feedbacks between systems as energy from the sun is transferred between systems and circulates though the ocean and atmosphere. Calculation Method for DCIDisciplinary Core Ideas are larger groups of related Performance Expectations. So the Disciplinary Core Idea Grade is a calculation of all the related Performance Expectations. So click on the Performance Expectation name below each Disciplinary Core Idea to access the learning targets and proficiency scales for each Disciplinary Core Idea's related Performance Expectations. |

SCI-MS.ESS2.028th Grade (SCI) Earth Space Science Standards SCI-MS.ESS2.02 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth's surface at varying times and spatial scales.Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at time and spatial scales that can be large
(such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides
or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes,
volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events.
Examples of geoscience processes include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of
water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features,
where appropriate. Student Learning Targets:Knowledge Targets
