Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity.
Clarification statement: Examples of factors that affect the management of natural resources include costs of resource extraction and waste management, per-capita consumption, and the development of new technologies. Examples of factors that affect human sustainability include agricultural efficiency, levels of conservation, and urban planning.
Assessment boundary: Assessment for computational simulations is limited to using provided multi-parameter programs or constructing simplified spreadsheet calculations.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation HS-ESS3-3 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Using mathematics and computational thinking: Create a computational model or simulation of a phenomenon, designed device, process, or system.
- Human impacts on Earth systems: The sustainability of human societies and the biodiversity that supports them requires responsible management of natural resources.
- Stability and change: Change and rates of change can be quantified and modeled over very short or very long periods of time. Some system changes are irreversible.
- Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World: Modern civilization depends on major technological systems.
- Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World: New technologies can have deep impacts on society and the environment, including some that were not anticipated.
- Science is a Human Endeavor: Scientific knowledge is a result of human endeavors, imagination, and creativity.
