Performance expectationAnalyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth systems.
Examples of evidence, for both data and climate model outputs, are for climate changes (such as precipitation and temperature) and their associated impacts (such as on sea level, glacial ice volumes, or atmosphere and ocean composition).
Assessment is limited to one example of a climate change and its associated impacts.
Every item written to HS-ESS3-5 has to assess all three dimensions together, not the content alone. This is the structural change that made older practice material stop matching the exam.
Analyzing and Interpreting Data
Phenomenon stimulus, connected items across the required types, answer key, rubric and figures drawn deterministically from a structured spec — in the format your students will sit.
