Exploring Global Weather Patterns
Exploring Global Weather Patterns
How do global weather patterns affect Earth's climate, ecosystems, and human societies?
Adaptive Perseverance: Explore complex weather systems and their impact despite the challenges in predicting specific outcomes.
Critical Thinking: Analyze data on weather patterns and climate change to understand the underlying processes and human impacts.
Global Citizenship: Recognize the importance of sustainable practices to mitigate the impact of human activities on global weather and climate.
What factors contribute to the formation of different weather patterns around the world?
How do ocean currents and atmospheric conditions interact to influence weather and climate?
In what ways do human activities impact weather patterns and climate change?
MS-ESS2-5: Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions.
MS-ESS2-6: 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.
HS-ESS3-5: Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth systems.
