Grade Discipline Core Idea
PreK-2 ESS3.A: Natural resources Living things need water, air, and resources from the land, and they live in places that have the things they need. Humans use natural resources for everything they do.
3-5 ESS3.A: Natural resources Energy and fuels humans use are derived from natural sources and their use affects the environment. Some resources are renewable over time, others are not.
6-8 ESS3.A: Natural resources Humans depend on Earth's land, ocean, atmosphere, and biosphere for different resources, many of which are limited or not renewable. Resources are distributed unevenly around the planet as a result of past geologic processes.
9-12 ESS3.A: Natural resources Resource availability has guided the development of human society and use of natural resources has associated costs, risks, and benefits.
3-5 ESS3.D: Global climate change N/A
6-8 ESS3.D: Global climate change Human activities affect global warming. Decisions to reduce the impact of global warming depend on understanding climate science, engineering capabilities, and social dynamics.
