ESS3.A: Natural Resources
K-ESS3-1:
Living things need water, air, and resources from the land, and they live in places that have the things they need. Humans use natural resources for everything they do.

K-ESS3-2:
Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World. People depend on various technologies in their lives; human life would be very different without technology.
