5-ESS3-1   Earth and Human Activity

Students who demonstrate understanding can:

5-ESS3-1.Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.
The performance expectation above was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K- 12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices

Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information

Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information in 3–5 builds on K–2 experiences and progresses to evaluating the merit and accuracy of ideas and methods.

Common Core State Standards Connections:

ELA/Literacy -
RI.5.1Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. (5-ESS3-1)
RI.5.7 Draw on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently. (5-ESS3-1)
RI.5.9 Integrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably. (5-ESS3-1)
W.5.8Recall relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from print and digital sources; summarize or paraphrase information in notes and finished work, and provide a list of sources. (5-ESS3-1)
W.5.9Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. (5-ESS3-1)
Mathematics -
MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (5-ESS3-1)
MP.4Model with mathematics. (5-ESS3-1)
