Part C: Standards
Standards relating to weather and climate:
Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year. 1-ESS1-2
Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid. 2-ESS2-3
Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season. 3-ESS2-1
Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard. 3-ESS3-1
Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment. 4-ESS3-1
Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. 5-ESS2-1
Describe and graph the amounts and percentages of water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth. 5-ESS2-2
Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky. 5-ESS1-2
Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment. 5-ESS3-1
Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions. MS-ESS2-5
Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates. MS-ESS2-6
Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. MS-ESS3-5
Standards relating to analyzing and interpreting data:
Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull. K-PS2-2
Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. 2-PS1-2
Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky. 5-ESS1-2
Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions. MS-ESS2-5
Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object. MS-PS3-1
Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. MS-ESS3-5
Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample. MS-PS3-4
