• Use a model& mathematical thinking to identify the inputs and outputs in the Colorado River system
• Construct explanations and design solutions for water management and distribution
• Analyze & interpret tree ring data to relate past and future streamflow
• Use evidence to construct an argument about the impact of human activities on the environment
• Engage in argument from evidence about past, present, & future management of the Colorado River
