Standards Connections
These resources can be used to support standards-based teaching and learning. They are not intended to meet the full scope of any given standard. Only some standards are highlighted; many more standards may be connected! We encourage you to explore and to let us know if you have any questions!
| 5-LS2-1. Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. |
| 5ESS2-1. Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. |
| MS-LS2-5. Evaluate competing design solutions for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. |
| HS-ESS2-5. Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes. |
| HS-ESS2-6. Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. |
