NGSS Standards that could be addressed: 


By implementing the guided inquiry activities (nutrient holding capacity and water holding capacity): 

HS-ESS2-2. Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth's surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth systems. http://www.nextgenscience.org/pe/hs-ess2-2-earths-systems

HS-ESS2-5. Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes. http://www.nextgenscience.org/pe/hs-ess2-5-earths-systems


By implementing other aspects of the AFW Module: 

MS-ESS3-1. Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how the uneven distributions of Earth's mineral, energy, and groundwater resources are the result of past and current geoscience processes. http://www.nextgenscience.org/pe/ms-ess3-1-earth-and-human-activity 

HS-ESS2-7. Construct an argument based on evidence about  the simultaneous coevolution of Earth’s systems and life on Earth. http://www.nextgenscience.org/pe/hs-ess2-7-earths-systems

HS-ESS3-1. Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. http://www.nextgenscience.org/pe/hs-ess3-1-earth-and-human-activity
