1 Know: Understand: Do: Subject(s): Science S11.A Compact Compare and contrast scientific theories, scientific laws, and beliefs (e.g., the law of gravity, how light travels, formation of moons, stages of ecological succession). How humans have changed planet earth over time and how these changes have affected and will continue to affect living things. Analyze and predict the effect of making a change in one part of a system on the system as a whole. S11.A Important Explain how specific scientific knowledge or technological design concepts solve practical problems (e.g., momentum, Newton's laws of universal gravitation, tectonics, conservation of mass and energy, cell theory, theory of evolution, atomic theory, theory of relativity, Pasteur's germ theory, relativity, heliocentric theory, gas laws, processing and feedback systems). S11.A Important Apply and explain scientific concepts to societal issues using case studies (e.g., sea level change, spread of HIV, deforestation, environmental health, energy). S11.A Compact Use case studies (e.g., Wright brothers' flying machine, Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Henry Petroski's Design Paradigms to propose possible solutions and analyze economic and environmental implications of solutions for real-world problems.

4 Topic: Key Learning: Introduction Environmental to the Environment Science is the study of the air, water, and land surrounding an organism or a Subject(s): Sciencecommunity, which ranges from a small area to Earth's entire biosphere; it includes the story of the impact of humans on the environment. Unit Essential Question(s): Why are environmental problems considered global problems? Concept: Environmental Science is the study of the earth and man's impact on it. S11.A.1.1.4, S11.A.3.1.2, A.c, C.a, C.b, S11.A.1.1.1, S11.A.1.2.1, S11.A Lesson Essential Question(s): What are the three major categories of environmental problems? (A) S11.A.1.1.4, S11.A.3.1.2, A.c, C.a, C.b How can you use a decision making model to make decisions about environmental issues?
