Next Generation Science Standards

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.
9-12	ESS3.C: Human impacts on Earth systems	Sustainability of human societies and the biodiversity that supports them requires responsible management of natural resources, including the development of technologies.
