No Predecessor Standards found.

Successor Standards:

  • 3.LS.4.4
    Analyze and interpret given data about changes in a habitat and describe how the changes may affect the ability of organisms that live in that habitat to survive and reproduce. Clarification Statements: Changes should include changes to landforms, distribution of water, climate, and availability of resources; Changes in the habitat could range in time from a season to a decade; While it is understood that ecological changes are complex, the focus should be on a single change to the habitat.
  • 4.ESS.2.1
    Make observations and collect data to provide evidence that rocks, soils, and sediments are broken into smaller pieces through mechanical weathering and moved around through erosion. Clarification Statements: Mechanical weathering processes can include frost wedging, abrasion, and tree root wedging. Erosion can include movement by blowing wind, flowing water, and moving ice. State Assessment Boundary: Chemical processes are not expected in state assessment.

Same Level Standards:

  • 2.ESS.2.1
    Investigate and compare the effectiveness of multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land.* Clarification Statements: Solutions to be compared could include different designs of dikes and windbreaks to hold back wind and water, and different designs for using shrubs, grass, and trees to hold back the land; Solutions can be generated or provided.
