MS-ESS2-1 2014
MS-ESS2-1: Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process.
[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the processes of melting, crystallization, weathering, deformation, and sedimentation,
which act together to form minerals and rocks through the cycling of Earth’s materials.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does
not include the identification and naming of minerals.]
Essential Questions
What are the steps in the rock
cycle?
What rocks are produced by
different processes such as
sedimentation, melting etc.?
Enduring Understandings
Students will understand that the
formation of rocks and minerals occur in
a cycle. Students will be able to develop
a model to show how the flow of energy
that drives the process.
To what extent does the
exchange of energy within the
Earth drive geologic events on
the surface?
Content Statements
Major geological events, such as
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
and mountain building, result
from the motion of plates.
Mapping of the Mid-Atlantic
Ridge, revealing sea floor
spreading, and subduction zones
are evidence for the theory of
plate tectonics.
Labs, Investigation, and Student Experiences
Student investigation: Students, will be given unlabeled rocks and have to
determine what type of rock it is, by researching it online and determining if
it is sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic rock.

origins (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary). Identify different types of
igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
Instructional Guidance
To assist in meeting this CPI, students may:
·
Describe and compare the characteristics of each layer of the Earth.
·
Describe how technology has influenced what we know about the
internal structure of Earth.
·
Investigate the role of the transfer of energy in geophysical
processes that create unique landforms.

(NAEP)
Sample Assessments
To show evidence of meeting this CPI, students may answer the following
question:
1.
You are a captain of a commercial offshore fishing boat based in
Manasquan, NJ. After cruising for three hours on a heading of 45 0
northeast from the harbor you discover that you are 12 0 and 55” west
of your intended fishing spot. Explain to your first mate why it is
Instructional Guidance
To assist in meeting this CPI, students may:
·
Locate and map current evidence and data, such as volcanism,
earthquakes, and ocean features (e.g., mid-ocean ridges, and trenches), to
reveal the location of plate margins.
·
Apply historical field evidence, such as the location of fossils,
glacial moraines, and rock structures, to the theory of plate tectonics.
·
Create explanations for the evidence of plate tectonics that include
our current understanding of the Earth’s interior.

necessary to adjust his compass from true north to magnetic north
when traveling over long distances.
To assist in meeting this CPI, students may:
● Experiment with a topographic map and a corrected and uncorrected
compass to locate places on Earth utilizing the compass rose in the
map legend.
● Analyze models of the interior of the Earth that show the
conducting, fluid outer core to conceptualize the changing
geomagnetic poles.
