| 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. |
| 6-8 |
Changes in biodiversity can influence humans' resources and ecosystem services they rely on. |
|
| 6-8 | LS2.C: Ecosystem dynamics | |
| 6-8 | LS4.D: Biodiversity and humans |
Human activities affect global warming. Decisions to reduce the impact of global warming depend on understanding climate science, engineering capabilities, and social dynamics. |

| 9-12 | ESS3.D: Global climate change |
Global climate models used to predict changes continue to be improved, although discoveries about the global climate system are ongoing and continually needed. |
| 9-12 |
Biodiversity is increased by formation of new species and reduced by extinction. Humans depend on biodiversity but also have adverse impacts on it. Sustaining biodiversity is essential to supporting life on Earth. |
