of output lines, depending on whether the pivotal event occurs (Yes output) or otherwise (No output). The same applies in the case of conditions where Yes means the condition is satisfied and No means the opposite.
An event sequence diagram, therefore, is a visual representation of a set of possible risk scenarios originating from an initiating event. Each scenario consists of a unique sequence of occurrences and non-occurrences of pivotal events (Point B or C in Figure F-1). Each scenario eventually leads to an end state, which designates the severity of the outcome of that scenario.

As of 2013, the National Science Education Standards have been replaced by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), available as a print book, free PDF download, and online with our OpenBook platform.
The NGSS offer a detailed description of the key scientific ideas and practices that all students should learn by the time they graduate from high school. The standards are based largely on the 2011 National Research Council report A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas.
