Indicator 2: Communicate, evaluate and justify personal views on environmental issue and alternate ways to address them. Indicator 3: Analyze the effectiveness of the action plan in terms of achieving the desired outcomes. STANDARD 2 INTERACTIONS OF EARTH’S SYSTEMS The student will analyze and apply the properties of systems thinking and modeling to the study of Earth’s systems. Topic A: Earth Systems Indicator 1: The student will analyze and explain the interactions of earth’s systems. Topic B: Systems Thinking Indicator 1: Analyze, explain and apply the properties of systems thinking to earth systems interactions. Indicator 2: Use models and computer simulations to extend his/her understanding of scientific concepts. STANDARD 3 FLOW OF MATTER AND ENERGY The student will analyze and explain the movement of matter and energy through interactions of earth’s systems (biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and cryosphere) and the influence of this movement on weather patterns, climatic zones, and the distribution of life. Topic A: Conservation of Matter within Earth Systems Indicator 1: Demonstrate that matter cycles through and between living systems and the physical environment, constantly being recombined in different ways. Topic B: Energy Distribution through Earth Systems Indicator 1: Analyze how the position and movement of the Earth in space determine distribution of heat and light. Indicator 2: Explain that transfer of thermal energy between the atmosphere and the land or oceans produces temperature and density gradients in the atmosphere and the oceans. Indicator 3: Explain that transfer of thermal energy between the atmosphere and the land or oceans influences climate patterns. Topic C: Interaction of Physical Systems and the Biosphere Indicator 1: Analyze and explain the movement of matter and energy through earth’s systems and the influence of this movement on the distribution of life. 1|P a g e
  • 2. STANDARD 4 POPULATIONS, COMMUNITIES AND ECOSYSTEMS The student will use physical, chemical, biological, and ecological concepts to analyze and explain the interdependence of humans and organisms in populations, communities and ecosystems. Topic A: Cycling of Matter and Energy Indicator 1: Explain how organisms are linked by the transfer and transformation of matter and energy at the ecosystem level. Topic B: Population Dynamics Indicator 1: Analyze the growth or decline of populations and identify a variety of responsible factors. Topic C: Community and Ecosystem Dynamics Indicator 1: Explain how the interrelationships and interdependencies of organisms and populations contribute to the dynamics of communities and ecosystems. Topic D: Stability in Populations, Communities and Ecosystems Indicator 1: Use models and provide examples to show how the interaction and interdependence of populations contribute to the stability of populations, communities and ecosystems. Indicator 2: Use models and provide examples to show how species’ interactions may generate ecosystems that are stable for hundreds or thousands of years. Topic E: Diversity Indicator 1: Provide examples and evidence to show that a greater diversity of genes, species and/or environments increases the chance that at least some living things will survive in the face of large changes in the environment. STANDARD 5 HUMANS AND NATURAL RESOURCES The student will use concepts from chemistry, physics, biology, and ecology to analyze and interpret both positive and negative impacts of human activities on earth’s natural systems and resources.
