4-ESS3-2 Earth and Human Activity
|
| Students who demonstrate understanding can: Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans. |
Clarification Statement: Examples of solutions could include designing an earthquake resistant building and improving monitoring of volcanic activity.
|
Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.

|
Cause and Effect:
- Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified and used to explain change.
|
Constructing Explanations (for science) and Designing Solutions (for engineering):
- Constructing explanations and designing solutions in 3â5 builds on Kâ2 experiences and progresses to the use of evidence in constructing explanations that specify variables that describe and predict phenomena and in designing multiple solutions to design problems.
- Generate and compare multiple solutions to a problem based on how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the design solution.
|
Natural Hazards:
- A variety of hazards result from natural processes (e.g., earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions).
- Humans cannot eliminate the hazards but can take steps to reduce their impacts.
Designing Solutions to Engineering Problems:
- Testing a solution involves investigating how well it performs under a range of likely conditions.

Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World:
- Engineers improve existing technologies or develop new ones to increase their benefits, to decrease known risks, and to meet societal demands.
