  • Demonstrate how sun transfers heat to air, land, and water at different rates.
  • Create a model to demonstrate the interaction between unequal heating and the rotation of the Earth that causes global and local wind systems
  • Demonstrate the relationship between air pressure, weather fronts, and air masses and meteorological events such as tornados and thunderstorms.
  • I can analyze and interpret weather data to explain the effects of moisture evaporating from the ocean on weather patterns and weather events such as hurricanes.
  • I can create a model to demonstrate the interaction between unequal heating and the rotation of the Earth that causes global and local wind systems
  • I can explain how the tilt of the Earth's axis results in seasons
