1 Disciplinary Core List of Standards (NGSS) for K-2 Earth Science Progression - K-ESS2 Earth s Systems ESS2.D Weather and Climate - Weather is the combination of sunlight, wind, snow or rain, and temperature in a particular region and time. People record weather patterns over time. K-ESS2-1. Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time. Weather and Climate
2 Disciplinary Core List of Standards (NGSS) for K-2 Earth Science Progression K-ESS2 Earth s Systems and K-ESS3 Earth and Human Activity ESS2.E Biogeology - Plants and animals can change their local environment. 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. K-ESS2-2. Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. K-ESS3-1. Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live.
3 Disciplinary Core List of Standards (NGSS) for K-2 Earth Science Progression - K-ESS3 Earth and Human Activity ESS3.C Human Impacts on Earth Systems - Things people do can affect the environment but they can make choices to reduce their impacts. ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem - Asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems. (secondary to K-ESS3-2) K-ESS3-3. Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment. Natural Sources of Greenhouse Gasses: Plant & Animal Respiration Volcanic Eruptions Forest Fires Water Vapor Greenhouse Gasses in the Atmosphere: CO2 Methane Nitrous Oxide Human Actions Increasing Greenhouse Gasses: Urbanization Deforestation Burning Fossil Fuels: Automobiles For Electricty For Some Industry Agriculture: Fertilizing Crops Raising Livestock Effects of Climate Change: Warmer Oceans Rising Oceans More Acidic Oceans Shrinking Glaciers Melting Arctic Sea Ice Rising Global Temps Melting Antarctic Sheet Ice Increasingly Severe U.S. Heat Waves
4 Disciplinary Core List of Standards (NGSS) for K-2 Earth Science Progression - K-ESS3 Earth and Human Activity ESS3.B Natural Hazards - In a region, some kinds of severe weather are more likely than others. Forecasts allow communities to prepare for severe weather. *Performance Expectations in PDF.
5 Disciplinary Core List of Standards (NGSS) for K-2 Earth Science Progression - 1-ESS1 Earth s Place in the Universe ESS1.A The Universe and its Stars - Patterns of movement of the sun, moon, and stars as seen from Earth can be observed, described and predicted. ESS1.B Earth and the Solar System - Seasonal patterns of sunrise and sunset can be observed, described, and predicted. 1-ESS1-1. Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. 1-ESS1-2. Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.
6 Disciplinary Core List of Standards (NGSS) for K-2 Earth Science Progression - 2-ESS1 Earth s Place in the Universe ESS1.C The history of planet Earth - Some events on Earth occur very quickly; others can occur very slowly. 2-ESS1-1. Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly.
7 Disciplinary Core List of Standards (NGSS) for K-2 Earth Science Progression - 2-ESS2 Earth s Systems ESS2.A Earth Materials and Systems - Wind and water change the shape of the land. ESS2.B Plate tectonics large-scale system interactions - Maps show where things are located. One can map the shapes and kinds of land and water in any area. ESS2.C The roles of water in Earth s surface processes - Water is found in the ocean, rivers, lakes, and ponds. Water exists as solid ice and in liquid form. (2-ESS2-3) 2-ESS1-1. Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly. 2-ESS2-1. Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land. 2-ESS2-3. Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid. Landforms and Waterways Underground Aquifers

ESS2.B Plate Tectonics Large-scale System interactions - Maps show where things are located. One can map the shapes and kinds of land and water in any area. ESS2.C The Roles of Water in Earth s Surface Processes - Water is found in many types of places and in different forms on Earth. ESS2.D Weather and Climate - Weather is the combination of sunlight, wind, snow or rain, and temperature in a particular region and time. People record weather patterns over time. ESS2.E Biogeology - Plants and animals can change their local environment.
