MS-ESS2 Earth's Systems

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