Learning Objectives...
__ I can develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. (PS1-4)
__ I can develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity. (ESS2-4)
__ I can 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 climate. (ESS2-6)
__ I can construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population & per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems. (ESS3-4)
__ I can ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. (ESS3-5)
