Everest
Everest is the dramatic true story of a team of climbers who found hope, strength and triumph in the wake of tragedy. Their successful ascent of Mount Everest, just days after fellow mountaineers and friends died there, is a compelling story about the human spirit and a mountain they love, respect and sometimes fear.

- Science in Personal and Social Perspectives > Natural and human-induced hazards (Grade: 9 – 12)
Natural and human-induced hazards present the need for humans to assess potential danger and risk. Many changes in the environment designed by humans bring benefits to society, as well as cause risks. Students should understand the costs and trade-offs of various hazards--ranging from those with minor risk to a few people to major catastrophes with major risk to many people. The scale of events and the accuracy with which scientists and engineers can (and cannot) predict events are important considerations. - Earth and Space Science > Structure of the earth system (Grade: 5 – 8)
Land forms are the result of a combination of constructive and destructive forces. Constructive forces include crustal deformation, volcanic eruption, and deposition of sediment, while destructive forces include weathering and erosion. - Earth and Space Science > Structure of the earth system (Grade: 5 – 8)
Lithospheric plates on the scales of continents and oceans constantly move at rates of centimeters per year in response to movements in the mantle. Major geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building, result from these plate motions. - Life Science > Regulation and behavior (Grade: 5 – 8)
All organisms must be able to obtain and use resources, grow, reproduce, and maintain stable internal conditions while living in a constantly changing external environment. - Life Science > Regulation and behavior (Grade: 5 – 8)
Regulation of an organism's internal environment involves sensing the internal environment and changing physiological activities to keep conditions within the range required to survive.
Massachusetts History and Social Science Curriculum Framework (2003)
(Massachusetts)
- Geography > 4.1 Ancient China, c. 3000-200 BC/BCE (Grade: 4)
On a map of Asia, locate China, the Huang He (Yellow) River and Chang Jiang (Yangtze) Rivers, and the Himalayan Mountains. - Geography > CSA.1 Central and South Asia (Grade: 6)
On a map of the world, locate Central and South Asia. On a map of Central and South Asia, locate the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, the Ganges River, the Indo-Gangetic Plain, the Northern Mountains, the Deccan Plateau, the Himalayan Mountains, and the Steppes. - Geography > 2.5 From Many, One (Grade: 2)
Locate major mountains or mountain ranges in the world such as the Andes, Alps, Himalayas, Mt. Everest, Mt. McKinley, and the Rocky Mountains.
MA Science and Technology/Engineering Framework (2006)
(Massachusetts)
- Earth and Space Science > 05 Earth's History (Grade: 6 – 8)
Describe how the movement of the earth's crustal plates causes both slow changes in the earth's surface (e.g., formation of mountains and ocean basins) and rapid ones (e.g., volcanic eruptions and earthquakes). - Technology/Engineering > 1.1 Materials, Tools, and Machines (Grade: 6 – 8)
Given a design task, identify appropriate materials (e.g., wood, paper, plastic, aggregates, ceramics, metals, solvents, adhesives) based on specific properties and characteristics (e.g., weight, strength, hardness, and flexibility). - Technology/Engineering > 1.2 Materials, Tools, and Machines (Grade: 6 – 8)
Identify and explain appropriate measuring tools, hand tools, and power tools used to hold, lift, carry, fasten, and separate, and explain their safe and proper use. - Life Science (Biology) > 10 Adaptations of Living Things (Grade: 3 – 5)
Give examples of how organisms can cause changes in their environment to ensure survival. Explain how some of these changes may affect the ecosystem. - Earth and Space Science > 12 Earth's History (Grade: 3 – 5)
Give examples of how the surface of the earth changes due to slow processes such as erosion and weathering, and rapid processes such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. - Earth and Space Science > 01 Mapping the Earth (Grade: 6 – 8)
Recognize, interpret, and be able to create models of the earth's common physical features in various mapping representations, including contour maps.
