Standard 4 Earth and Space Science: Students know and understand the processes and interactions of Earth's systems and the structure and dynamics of Earth and other objects in space. (Focus: Geology, Meteorology, Astronomy, Oceanography) Students know and can demonstrate understanding that: Benchmark 10 There are large-scale and local weather systems (for example: fronts, air masses, storms) Assessment Objective CAS Alignment Code CAS Expectation Text Comment Use several pieces of Use models to develop and communicate a weather evidence (cloud prediction. observations, weather maps) to identify causes of changes in weather and weather patterns (weather moves west to east). Identify the Not explicitly in the CAS between at 8th grade or below. large scale weather systems and local weather. Explain how Earth’s SC09-GR.5-S.3-GLE.3 Weather conditions change because of the uneven surface features (such heating of Earth’s surface by the Sun’s energy. as mountains, oceans) Weather changes are measured by differences in affect local weather. temperature, air pressure, wind and water in the atmosphere and type of precipitation. Research and evaluate direct and indirect evidence to explain how climates vary from one location to another on Standard 4 and Space Science: Students know and understand the processes and interactions of Earth's systems and the structure and dynamics of Earth and other objects in space.
