NEXT GENERATION SUNSHINE STATE STANDARDS
EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE
Standard 6: Earth Structures
The scientific theory of plate tectonics provides the framework from much of modern geology. Over geologic time, internal and external sources of energy have continuously altered the features of Earth by means of both constructive and destructive forces. All life, including human civilization, is dependent on Earth’s internal and external energy and material resources.
BENCHMARK CODE
BENCHMARK
SC.912.E.6.6
Analyze past, present, and potential future consequences to the environment resulting from various energy production technologies.
Cognitive Complexity/Depth of Knowledge Rating: High
Standard 7: Earth Systems and Patterns
The scientific theory of the evolution of Earth states that changes in our planet are driven by the flow of energy and the cycling of matter through dynamic interactions among the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and biosphere, and the resources used to sustain human civilization on Earth.
BENCHMARK CODE
BENCHMARK
SC.912.E.7.3
Differentiate and describe the various interactions among Earth systems, including: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.
Cognitive Complexity/Depth of Knowledge Rating: High
SC.912.E.7.4
Summarize the conditions that contribute to the climate of a geographic area, including the relationships to lakes and oceans.
Cognitive Complexity/Depth of Knowledge Rating: Moderate
SC.912.E.7.5
Predict future weather conditions based on present observations and conceptual models and recognize limitations and uncertainties of such predictions.
Cognitive Complexity/Depth of Knowledge Rating: High
SC.912.E.7.7
Identify, analyze, and relate the internal (Earth system) and external (astronomical) conditions that contribute to global climate change.
Cognitive Complexity/Depth of Knowledge Rating: High
SC.912.E.7.9
Cite evidence that the ocean has had a significant influence on climate change by absorbing, storing, and moving heat, carbon and water.
Cognitive Complexity/Depth of Knowledge Rating: High
PHYSICAL SCIENCE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE
Standard 10: Energy
A. Energy is involved in all physical and chemical processes. It is conserved, and can be transformed from one form to another and into work. At the atomic and nuclear levels energy is not continuous but exists in discrete amounts. Energy and mass are related through Einstein's equation E=mc2.
B. The properties of atomic nuclei are responsible for energy-related phenomena such as radioactivity, fission and fusion.
C. Changes in entropy and energy that accompany chemical reactions influence reaction paths. Chemical reactions result in the release or absorption of energy.
BENCHMARK CODE
BENCHMARK
SC.912.P.10.4
Describe heat as the energy transferred by convection, conduction, and radiation, and explain the connection of heat to change in temperature or states of matter.Cognitive Complexity/Depth of Knowledge Rating: High

TOPIC XII
INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS

Strategies:
CRISS
Incorporate strategies which are most appropriate for your students and learning environment, such as: Concept Mapping, Venn Diagrams, KWL, Think Pair Share, Jigsawing, Word Walls, Two-column Notes, Sticky Notes, Think-Tac-Toe, Cooperative Learning, Exit Cards.

Differentiated Instruction
Implement strategies which are most appropriate for your students and learning environment, such as: Inquiry Based Learning, Performance Based Assessments, Foldable Booklets, Student Portfolios, Concept Bingo

Lab Strategies
Create mixed lab groups based on student performance and other student indicators such as FCAT levels, ELL and SPED.
Assign lab roles to student: Project Director, Materials Manager, Technical Manager, Safety Director.
Follow the district’s guideline for Power Writing in Science.

Assessment:
Authentic (ongoing throughout the year); Students will demonstrate an understanding of the human impact on climate.
