Story line for HS-ESS3 Human Sustainability: Earth and Human Activity help students formulate an answer to the question: “How do Earth’s surface processes and human activities affect each other?” The ESS3 Disciplinary Core Idea from the NRC Framework is broken down into four sub-ideas: natural resources, natural hazards, human impact on Earth systems, and global climate change. Students understand the complex and significant interdependencies between humans and the rest of Earth’s systems through the impacts of natural hazards, our dependencies on natural resources, and the significant environmental impacts of human activities. Engineering and technology figure prominently here, as students use mathematical thinking and the analysis of geoscience data to examine and construct solutions to the many challenges facing long-term human sustainability on Earth. The crosscutting concepts of cause and effect, systems and system models, and stability and change are called out as organizing concepts for these disciplinary core ideas. In the ESS3 performance expectations, students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in developing and using analyzing and interpreting data, mathematical and computational thinking, constructing explanations and designing solutions and engaging in argument; and to use these practices to demonstrate understanding of the core ideas.

During Sustainability/Hydroponics course students will analyze the three pillars of human sustainability exploring examples of sustainable and unsustainable practices. They will perform an in-depth investigation into food and food choices, with a focus on using the hydroponic greenhouse at Orange High School as an example of sustainable agriculture and a community development effort. Students will be asked to undertake a science fair

research project with the aim of improving human sustainability.

The performance expectations above were developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices

Using Mathematics and Computational ThinkingMathematical and computational thinking in 9-12 builds on K-8 experiences and progresses to using algebraic thinking and analysis, a range of linear and nonlinear functions including trigonometric functions, exponentials and logarithms, and computational tools for statistical analysis to analyze, represent, and model data. Simple computational simulations are created and used based on mathematical models of basic assumptions.

● Create a computational model or simulation of a phenomenon, designed device, process, or system. (HS-ESS3-3)

● Use a computational representation of phenomena or design solutions to describe

Disciplinary Core Ideas

ESS2.D: Weather and Climate● Current models predict that, although future

regional climate changes will be complex and varied, average global temperatures will continue to rise. The outcomes predicted by global climate models strongly depend on the amounts of human-generated greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere each year and by the ways in which these gases are absorbed by the ocean and biosphere. (secondary to HS-ESS3-6)

ESS3.A: Natural Resources● Resource availability has guided the

development of human society. (HS-ESS3-1)● All forms of energy production and other

resource extraction have associated economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical costs and risks as well as benefits. New technologies and social regulations can change the balance of

Crosscutting Concepts

Cause and Effect● Empirical evidence is required to

differentiate between cause and correlation and make claims about specific causes and effects. (HS-ESS3- 1)

Systems and System Models● When investigating or describing a

system, the boundaries and initial conditions of the system need to be defined and their inputs and outputs analyzed and described using models. (HS-ESS3-6)

Stability and Change● Change and rates of change can be

quantified and modeled over very short or very long periods of time. Some system changes are

and/or support claims and/or explanations. (HS-ESS3-6)

Constructing Explanations and Designing SolutionsConstructing explanations and designing solutions in 9–12 builds on K–8 experiences and progresses to explanations and designs that are supported by multiple and independent student-generated sources of evidence consistent with scientific knowledge, principles, and theories.

● Construct an explanation based on valid and reliable evidence obtained from a variety of sources (including students’ own investigations, models, theories, simulations, peer review) and the assumption that theories and laws that describe the natural world operate today as they did in the past and will continue to do so in the future. (HS-ESS3-1)

● Design or refine a solution to a complex real-world problem, based on scientific knowledge, student-generated sources of evidence, prioritized criteria, and

these factors. (HS-ESS3-2)

ESS3.B: Natural Hazards● Natural hazards and other geologic events have

shaped the course of human history; [they] have significantly altered the sizes of human populations and have driven human migrations. (HS-ESS3-1)

ESS3.C: Human Impacts on Earth Systems● The sustainability of human societies and the

biodiversity that supports them requires responsible management of natural resources. (HS-ESS3-3)

● Scientists and engineers can make major contributions by developing technologies that produce less pollution and waste and that preclude ecosystem degradation. (HS-ESS3-4)

ESS3.D: Global Climate Change● Through computer simulations and other

studies, important discoveries are still being made about how the ocean, the atmosphere, and the biosphere interact and are modified in response to human activities. (HS-ESS3-6)

ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions● When evaluating solutions, it is important to take

into account a range of constraints, including

irreversible. (HS-ESS3-3)● Feedback (negative or positive) can

stabilize or destabilize a system. (HS-ESS3-4)

Connections to Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science

Influence of Science, Engineering, and Technology on Society and the Natural World

● Modern civilization depends on major technological systems. (HS-ESS3-1),(HS-ESS3-3)

● Engineers continuously modify these technological systems by applying scientific knowledge and engineering design practices to increase benefits while decreasing costs and risks. (HS-ESS3-2),(HS-ESS3-4)

● New technologies can have deep impacts on society and the environment, including some that were not anticipated. (HS-ESS3-3)

● Analysis of costs and benefits is a critical aspect of decisions about technology. (HS-ESS3-2)

Connections to Nature of Science

Science is a Human Endeavor● Science is a result of human

endeavors, imagination, and creativity. (HS-ESS3-3)

Science Addresses Questions About the Natural and Material World

● Science and technology may raise ethical issues for which science, by itself, does not provide answers and solutions. (HS-ESS3-2)

● Science knowledge indicates what can happen in natural systems—not what should happen. The latter involves ethics, values, and human decisions about the use of knowledge. (HS-ESS3-2)

● Many decisions are not made using science alone, but rely on social and cultural contexts to resolve issues. (HS-ESS3-2)
