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

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
