Module: Responsible Management of Natural Resources
DCI: ESS3.C (A) The sustainability of human societies and the
biodiversity that supports them requires responsible management of natural
resources.
PE: HS-ESS3-3 Create a computational simulation to illustrate the
relationships among management of natural resources, the sustainability of
human populations, and biodiversity.
[Clarification
Statement: Examples of factors that affect the management of natural resources
include costs of resource extraction and waste management, per-capita
consumption, and the development of new technologies. Examples of factors that
affect human sustainability include agricultural efficiency, levels of
conservation, and urban planning.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment for
computational simulations is limited to using provided multi-parameter programs
or constructing simplified spreadsheet calculations.]
The basic content of the standard is as follows.
- Humans must responsibly manage natural resources to preserve biodiversity in order to support society.
- Students will have to use simulations that include computations in order to figure out how natural resources interact with biodiversity and humans.
