Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

content standard text - p.176: prints the content-standard code as "3.4.2.CS.1", which this sub-strand already uses for a different standard ("Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Sustainability of Timber In"), and whose learning-indicator numbers restart; filed as 3.4.2.CS.2 so the two standards do not collide
