Priority Standards
HS-ESS3-5. Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth systems.
HS-ESS2-2. Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth's surface can create feedback that causes changes to other Earth systems.
Supporting Standards:
HS-ESS3-6. Use a computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity.
HS-ESS2-4. Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems result in changes in climate.
HS-ESS2-6. Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.

- analyze qualitative and quantitative data to make claims about the cause and effect relationships questioned in our experiments.
- support scientific claims with data based evidence that proves or disproves testable questions and/or hypothesis.
- assess the reliability of scientific claims and data by evaluating the potential for outside factor influence and bias (unintended or intended).
