Science and Technology/Engineering | Grade : 5

Discipline - Earth and Space Sciences

Core Idea - Earth and Human Activity

[5.ESS.3.1] - Obtain and combine information about ways communities reduce human impact on the Earth’s resources and environment by changing an agricultural, industrial, or community practice or process. Clarification Statement: Examples of changed practices or processes include treating sewage, reducing the amounts of materials used, capturing polluting emissions from factories or power plants, and preventing runoff from agricultural activities. State Assessment Boundary: Climate change or social science aspects of practices such as regulation or policy are not expected in state assessment.

Resources:

Predecessor Standards:

  • K.ESS.3.3
    Communicate solutions to reduce the amount of natural resources an individual uses. Clarification Statement: Examples of solutions could include reusing paper to reduce the number of trees cut down and recycling cans and bottles to reduce the amount of plastic or metal used.

Successor Standards:

  • 7.ESS.3.4
    Construct an argument supported by evidence that human activities and technologies can mitigate the impact of increases in human population and per capita consumption of natural resources on the environment. Clarification Statements: Arguments should be based on examining historical data such as population graphs, natural resource distribution maps, and water quality studies over time. Examples of negative impacts can include changes to the amount and quality of natural resources such as water, mineral, and energy supplies.
  • 7.ETS.3.5
    Use the concept of systems engineering to model inputs, processes, outputs, and feedback among components of a transportation, structural, or communication system.

Same Level Standards:

  • RI.5.1
    Quote or paraphrase a text accurately when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. (See grade 5 Writing Standard 8 for more on paraphrasing.)
  • 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.
  • RI.5.9
    Integrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak knowledgeably about the subject.
  • W.5.9
    Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research, applying one or more grade 5 standards for Reading Literature or Reading Informational Text as needed.
  • 5.ESS.3.2
    Test a simple system designed to filter particulates out of water and propose one change to the design to improve it.*
  • 5.ETS.3.2
    Use sketches or drawings to show how each part of a product or device relates to other parts in the product or device.*
