Actions

SCI.LS Life Science

  • SCI.LS1 Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of structures and processes (on a scale from molecules to organisms) to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

SCI.PS Physical Science

  • SCI.PS2 Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of forces, interactions, motion, and stability to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

  • SCI.PS3 Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of energy to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

SCI.ESS Earth and Space Science

SCI.ETS Engineering, Technology, and Society

  • SCI.ETS1 Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of engineering design to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

    • SCI.ETS1.A Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems

      • SCI.ETS1.A.K A situation that people want to change or create can be approached as a problem to be solved through engineering. Asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems. Before beginning to design a solution, it is important to clearly understand the problem.

    • SCI.ETS1.B Developing Possible Solutions

  • SCI.ETS2 Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of links among engineering, technology, science, and society to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

    • SCI.ETS2.A Interdependence of Science, Engineering, and Technology

    • SCI.ETS2.B Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World

      • SCI.ETS2.B.K Every human-made product is designed by applying some knowledge of the natural world and is built by using natural materials. Taking natural materials to make things impacts the environment.

  • SCI.ETS3 Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of the nature of science and engineering to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

    • SCI.ETS3.A Science and Engineering Are Human Endeavors

      • SCI.ETS3.A.K People of diverse backgrounds can become scientists and engineers. People have practiced science and engineering for a long time. Creativity and imagination are important to science and engineering.

    • SCI.ETS3.B Science and Engineering Are Unique Ways of Thinking With Different Purposes

      • SCI.ETS3.B.K Scientists use evidence to explain the natural world. Science assumes natural events happen today as they happened in the past. Engineers solve problems to meet the needs of people and communities.

    • SCI.ETS3.C Science and Engineering Use Multiple Approaches to Create New Knowledge and Solve Problems

      • SCI.ETS3.C.K Science and engineers use many approaches to answer questions about the natural world and solve problems. Scientific explanations are strengthened by being supported with evidence. An engineering problem can have many solutions. The strength of a solution depends on how well it solves the problem.
