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!
| MS-ESS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. |
| MS-ESS3-4. Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems. |
| HS-PS3-3. Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy. |
| HS-ESS2-5. Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes. |
| Hawaii CTE NRM Natural Resources Wildlife Management. Perform site assessments to maintain a safe and healthy environment. |
| Hawaii CTE NRM Natural Resources Wildlife Management. Demonstrate proper use of technology, tools, equipment, PPE, and materials in accordance with health and safety guidelines. |
