Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.EVS-PS3-1

Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative positions of particles (objects).EVS-PS3-2

Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.EVS-PS3-3

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics).EVS-PS3-4

Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth's systems result in changes in climate.EVS-ESS2-4

Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.EVS2-ETS1-2

Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales.EVS-LS2-1

Use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.EVS-LS2-2

Evaluate claims, evidence, and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem.EVS-LS2-6

Evaluate evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species' chances to survive and reproduce.EVS-LS2-8

Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and tradeoffs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.EVS3-ETS1-3

Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrences of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity.EVS-ESS3-1

Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on cost-benefit ratios.EVS-ESS3-2

Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among the management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity.EVS-ESS3-3

Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems.EVS-ESS3-4

Use a computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity.EVS-ESS3-6

Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.EVS-LS2-7

Create or revise a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity.EVS-ESS3-7

Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and tradeoffs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.EVS4-ETS1-3
