- Description
-
Students relate systems and cycles through analyzing various small scale and large scale phenomena. Using scientific methods, students can connect Earth's systems with the flow of energy in supporting living and nonliving organisms and specific interactions of matter. Students use multiple investigative methods to discover evidence, make claims, and generate explanations about systems and cycles that take place on Earth. A focus on organization and cycles of matter requires students to apply skills and make connections across genres of science since most complex cycles have multiple interactions.
