2-ESS2-2   Earth's Systems

Students who demonstrate understanding can:

2-ESS2-2. Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area.  [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include quantitative scaling in models.]
The performance expectation above was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices

Developing and Using Models

Modeling in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to include using and developing models (i.e., diagram, drawing, physical replica, diorama, dramatization, or storyboard) that represent concrete events or design solutions.

Disciplinary Core Ideas

ESS2.B: Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions

Crosscutting Concepts

Patterns

Connections to other DCIs in second grade: N/A

Articulation of DCIs across grade-bands:

4.ESS2.B ; 5.ESS2.C

Common Core State Standards Connections:

ELA/Literacy —
SL.2.5 Create audio recordings of stories or poems; add drawings or other visual displays to stories or recounts of experiences when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings. (2-ESS2-2)
Mathematics —
MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (2-ESS2-2)
MP.4 Model with mathematics. (2-ESS2-2)
2.NBT.A.3 Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. (2-ESS2-2)
