CREATIVITY across THE CURRICULUM
This Earth and Space Science integration resource covers National Art Standards and supports the Science Study of Natural Resources and Conservation by highlighting important Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and State Science standards (NSES):
NGSS - Earth and Human Activity
K-ESS3-3 - Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.
TEKS " Earth and Space
SCI.1.7.B - The student knows that the natural world includes rocks, soil, and water that can be observed in cycles, patterns, and systems. The student is expected to: identify and describe a variety of natural sources of water, including streams, lakes, and oceans.
SCI.2.7.C - The student knows that the natural world includes earth materials. The student is expected to: distinguish between natural and manmade resources.
Scientific investigation and reasoning
SCI.1.1.B/ SCI.2.1.B - The student conducts classroom and outdoor investigations following home and school safety procedures and uses environmentally appropriate and responsible practices. The student is expected to: identify and learn how to use natural resources and materials, including conservation and reuse or recycling of paper, plastic, and metals.
VA SOL " Earth Resources
1.8.a - The student will investigate and understand that natural resources can be used responsibly. Key ideas include most natural resources are limited.
1.8.b - The student will investigate and understand that natural resources can be used responsibly. Key ideas include human actions can affect the availability of natural resources.
1.8.c - The student will investigate and understand that natural resources can be used responsibly. Key ideas include reducing, reusing, and recycling are ways to conserve natural resources.
