NGSS
- MS-ESS3-4 Earth and Human Activity. Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems.
- MS-LS1-5 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes. Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.
Social Studies
- 13. The fundamental questions of economics include what to produce, how to produce and for whom to produce.
- 15. The interaction of supply and demand, influenced by competition, helps to determine price in a market. This interaction also determines the quantities of outputs produced and the quantities of productive resources (entrepreneurship, human resources, natural resources and capital) used.
- 16. When selecting items to buy, individuals can weigh costs and benefits and compare the price and quality of available goods and services.
