Grade | Discipline | Core Idea |
---|---|---|
9-12 | ESS2.D: Weather and climate | The role of radiation from the sun and its interactions with the atmosphere, ocean, and land are the foundation for the global climate system. Global climate models are used to predict future changes, including changes influenced by human behavior and natural factors. |
9-12 | ESS2.E: Biogeology | The biosphere and Earth's other systems have many interconnections that cause a continual co-evolution of Earth's surface and life on it. |
