This page lists all Earth and Space Science standards (right column). The standards are grouped into bundles (left column) that represent one way educators might connect the science ideas within each standard to create instructional units of study. Note: This is just one example and does not encompass all the ways teachers might bundle science ideas.
Each bundle name is linked to a bundle analysis that provides a detailed examination of the standards in that bundle. Check out this Guide to the Science Bundle Analyses for more details about each component in the analysis.
Each standard is also linked to its own description, as outlined in the 2020 Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science (OAS-S). Standards marked with an * indicated integrated engineering practices and/or engineering disciplinary core ideas.

There is much evidence that has led to our current understanding of the universe's origin. The star called the sun is changing and will burn out. The study of star's spectra and brightness can be used to identify compositional elements of stars, their movements and their distances from Earth.
|
ES.ESS1.1 Develop a model based on evidence to illustrate the life span of the sun and the role of nuclear fusion in the sun’s core to release energy that eventually reaches Earth in the form of radiation.
|
|
ES.ESS1.2 Construct an explanation of how the universe formed as a single point and continues to expand based on astronomical evidence of light spectra, motion of distant galaxies, and the composition of matter in the universe.
|
|
ES.ESS1.3 Construct an explanation about the process that causes stars to produce elements throughout their life cycle.

Both Newton and Kepler's laws are used to describe and explain the motions of planets in the solar system. Evidence exists that can provide information about Earth's formation and early history. Evidence also exists about geoscience factors that influenced conditions for life and its effect on Earth's surface.
|
ES.ESS1.4 Use mathematical or computational representations to determine patterns that can be used to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the solar system.
|
|
ES.ESS1.6 Apply scientific reasoning and evidence from ancient Earth materials, meteorites, and other planetary surfaces to construct an account of Earth’s formation and early history.
|
|
ES.ESS2.7 Engage in argument from evidence for how the simultaneous co-evolution of Earth’s systems and life on Earth led to periods of stability and change over geologic time.
|
| |
|
The relationship between the Earth's interior and exterior systems is central to the Earth's development over time. Continental plate movements, earthquakes and formation of surface features are connected to Earth's internal structure and processes. Interactions between the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere drive the rock cycle and the erosional processes of stream, wind, wave action and mass movement.
|
ES.ESS1.5 Evaluate evidence in the patterns of the past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks.
|
|
ES.ESS2.1 Develop a model to illustrate how Earth’s internal and surface processes operates at different scales of space and time to form continental and ocean-floor features.
|
|
ES.ESS2.3 Develop a model based on evidence of Earth’s interior to describe the cycling of matter by thermal convection.
|

How do variations in the flow of energy into and out of the Earth's systems result in changes in climate, and how carbon is cycled through all of the Earth's spheres? The properties of water and its effect on Earth materials and surfaces are a part of Earth's systems.
|
ES.ESS2.2 Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth’s surface can create feedbacks and interactions that cause changes to other Earth’s systems.
|
|
ES.ESS2.4 Analyze and interpret data to explore how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems causes changes in the atmosphere and climate.
|
|
ES.ESS2.5 Plan and conduct investigations of how the structure and resulting properties of water interact with the Earth materials and surface processes.
|
|
ES.ESS2.6 Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.

Many natural resources take thousands or millions of years to form. If natural resources are over-exploited the health of ecosystems can be harmed. Solutions for managing natural resources can be developed. All mass extinctions on Earth have been due to atmospheric changes caused by different factors. How will human activity be affected by the extraction of natural resources and changes in the climate?
|
ES.ESS3.1 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate affect human activity.
|
|
ES.ESS3.2 Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on cost-benefit ratios on large and small scale.*
|
|
ES.ESS3.5 Construct a scientific explanation from evidence for how geological processes cause uneven distribution of natural resources.
