← HS-ESS3-2
HS-ESS3-4 →

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.

Regents Exam Questions

Released New York State Regents exam questions that assess HS-ESS3-3 are listed here by exam and question cluster. Each link opens the question with its answer key.

Performance Level Descriptions

Every Regents exam question on HS-ESS3-3 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.

Level 1: Based on data (from a computational simulation), identify the relationship, from those provided, between two of the following: the management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity.
Level 2: Given parameters /or data (in a computational simulation), describe a relationship between two of the following: the management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and/or biodiversity or identify how a solution to the management of natural resources or the sustainability of human populations, and/or biodiversity reduces the impact on humans.
Level 3: Given parameters/data (from a computational simulation), describe a relationship among the management of natural resources, and the sustainability of human populations and biodiversity.
Level 4: Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity.
Level 5: Create a computational simulation resulting in multiple data sets to illustrate relationships among the management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and/or biodiversity. Compare the outcomes with what is known about the real world.

NGSS Dimensions

Performance expectation HS-ESS3-3 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices
  • Using mathematics and computational thinking: Create a computational model or simulation of a phenomenon, designed device, process, or system.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • Human impacts on Earth systems: The sustainability of human societies and the biodiversity that supports them requires responsible management of natural resources.
Crosscutting Concepts
  • 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.
