Earth's Systems (MS-ESS2-1,2,3,4,5,6)
Earth's Systems
Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process.
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth's surface at varying time and spatial scales
Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions.
Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth's systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity.
Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates.
