SCI-MS.ESS3DCI Earth Space Science ESS3Earth and Human ActivityPerformance ExpectationsESS3 help students formulate an answer to questions such as:
The ESS3 Disciplinary Core Idea is broken down into four sub - ideas: natural resources, natural hazards, human impact on Earth systems, and global climate change. Students understand the ways that human activities impacts Earth’s other systems. Students use many different practices to understand the significant and complex issues surrounding human uses of land, energy, mineral, and water resources and the resulting impacts of their development. 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.ESS3.028th Grade (SCI) Earth Space Science Standards SCI-MS.ESS3.02 Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events that necessitate the development of technologies to mitigate their effects.Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on how some natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions and severe weather, are preceded by
phenomena that allow for reliable predictions, but others, such as earthquakes, occur suddenly and with no
notice, and thus are not yet predictable. Examples of natural hazards can be taken from interior processes
(such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), surface processes (such as mass wasting and tsunamis), or
severe weather events (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods). Examples of data can include the locations,
magnitudes, and frequencies of the natural hazards. Examples of technologies can be global (such as satellite
systems to monitor hurricanes or forest fires) or local (such as building basements in tornado-prone regions or
reservoirs to mitigate droughts). Student Learning Targets:Knowledge Targets
