Power Standards
- 1.1 I can explain the cyclical patterns of seasons, lunar phases, eclipses of the sun and moon by developing and using models of the Earth.
- 1.2 I can describe scale properties of objects in the solar system by analyzing and interpreting data.
- 2.1 I can explain (based on evidence) how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales.
- 2.2 I can illustrate that energy from the Earth’s interior drives convection which cycles Earth’s crust.
- 2.3 I can construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth’s history.
- 2.4 I can describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems by designing and developing a model.
- 2.5 I can provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
- 3.1 I can scientifically explain (based on evidence) how the uneven distributions of Earth’s resources are the results of past and current geoscience processes and human activity.
- 3.2 I can forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects by analyzing and interpreting data.
- 3.3 I can define the relationship for how increases in population and consumption of natural resources impact Earth's systems.
