Grades 6-7 Science:

• Demonstrate scientific concepts through illustrations, performances, models, exhibits, and activities. S.RS.M15

• Describe the effect humans and other organisms have on the balance of the natural world. S.RS.M17

• Demonstrate, using a model or drawing, the relationship between warming by the sun and of the Earth and the water cycle as it applies to the atmosphere. E.ES.07.11

• Explain the water cycle and describe how evaporation, transpiration, condensation, cloud formation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, ground water, and absorption occur within the cycle. E.ES.07.81

• Analyze the flow of water between components of a watershed, including surface features and groundwater. E.ES.07.82

Grades 6-7 Math:

• Calculate part of a number given the percentage and the number. N.FL.06.12

• Solve word problems involving percentages. N.FL.06.13

• Express probabilities as fractions, decimals, or percentages between 0 and 1; know that “0” probability means that an event will not occur, and probability “1” means an event will occur. D.PR.06.01

• Compute probabilities of events from simple experiments with equally likely outcomes, e.g. tossing dice, flipping coins, etc. by listing all possibilities and finding the fraction that meets given conditions. D.PR.06.02

Grade 6-7 Social Studies:

• Use historical perspective to analyze global issues faced by humans long ago and today. 6 - H1.4.3

• Describe the environmental effects of human action on the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. 6 - G5.1.1

• Explain that communities are affected positively or negatively by changes in technology. 7 - G2.2.2

• Identify and explain factors (e.g. natural resources) that contribute to conflict and cooperation between and among cultural groups 7 - G4.4.1

• Describe the effects that a change in the physical environment could have on human activities and the choices people would have to make in adjusting to the change. 7 - G5.2.1 HS Earth Science:

• Describe that the water cycle includes evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, groundwater, and absorption. E4.p1A

• Compare and contrast surface water systems and groundwater in regard to their relative sizes as Earth’s freshwater reservoirs and the dynamics of water movement (inputs, outputs, residence times, sustainability). E4.1A

• Scientific Reflection and Social Implications (See HSCEs listed for Earth Science). BI.2
