Unit Essential Questions Unit Enduring Understandings How do changes to Earth’s Students will understand that… surface affect Earth systems? How do present day Earth (pp. 179-182) processes relate to geologic history? Unit Engineering Practices (pp. 182-183) Developing and Using Models (pp. 56-59) (pp. 184-186) Students use, synthesize, and develop models to predict and show relationships among variables (pp. 186-189) between systems and their components in the natural and designed world(s). Develop a model based on • evidence to illustrate the (189-190) relationships between systems or between components of a system. (HS-ESS2-3),(HS-ESS2-6) Planning and Carrying Out Investigations (pp.59-61) Students plan and carrying out investigations that provide evidence for and test conceptual, mathematical, physical, and empirical models. Plan and conduct an investigation • individually and collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, and in the design: decide on types, how much, and accuracy of data needed to produce reliable measurements and consider limitations on the precision of the data (e.g., number of trials, cost, risk, time), and refine the design accordingly. (HS-ESS2-5) Analyzing and Interpreting Data (pp. 61-63) Students analyze data using more detailed statistical analysis, the comparison of data sets for consistency, and the use of models to generate and analyze data. Analyze data using tools, • technologies, and/or models (e.g., computational, mathematical) in order to make valid and reliable
