identify ways to conserve natural resources through reducing, reusing, or recycling.
A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
explain why water conservation is important; and
describe ways to conserve water such as turning off the faucet when brushing teeth and protect natural sources of water such as keeping trash out of bodies of water.
describe how human impact can be limited by making choices to conserve and properly dispose of materials such as reducing use of, reusing, or recycling paper, plastic, and metal.
explain why the conservation of natural resources is important; and
identify ways to conserve natural resources through reducing, reusing, or recycling.
explain the critical role of energy resources to modern life and how conservation, disposal, and recycling of natural resources impact the environment; and
design and explain solutions such as conservation, recycling, or proper disposal to minimize environmental impact of the use of natural resources.
research and describe why resource management is important in reducing global energy poverty, malnutrition, and air and water pollution, and
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Patterns can be observed in the structure or material of a group of similar objects or in the process by which they are recycled.
Matter and energy are conserved, changing forms but maintaining quantities. Energy flows within a system or between systems through transfers and transformations. Matter is cycled within systems through physical and chemical processes.
As natural resources are used, matter cycles and energy flows through Earth's systems. Conservation is one way of managing the supply so that resources are available for future use.
