Module: Simulations of Ocean, Atmosphere and Biosphere Interactions
DCI: ESS3.D (B) Through computer simulations and other studies,
important discoveries are still being made about how the ocean, the atmosphere,
and the biosphere interact and are modified in response to human activities.
PE: HS-ESS3-6 Use a computational representation to illustrate the
relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being
modified due to human activity.
[Clarification Statement: Examples of Earth
systems to be considered are the hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere,
geosphere, and/or biosphere. An example of the far-reaching impacts from a
human activity is how an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in an
increase in photosynthetic biomass on land and an increase in ocean
acidification, with resulting impacts on sea organism health and marine
populations.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include running
computational representations but is limited to using the published results of
scientific computational models.]
The content of the standard is as follows.
- Humans are still learning about the interactions between air, water and living things interact in response to human activity.
- Computer simulations (and other studies?) help with these discoveries.
- The PE implies that students should be able to use computational models of the interactions talked about above.
