Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities
These samples activities offer ideas and are not
meant to limit teacher or student resourcefulness.
Concept B: Mechanical energy comes from the

Suggested Assessments
These samples assessments offer ideas and
are not meant to limit teacher or student
resourcefulness
a. Identify solar radiation as the primary source
of energy for weather phenomena
C1
a. Students will exchange information,
questions, and ideas with others to discuss
the effects of energy transfer on the water
cycle. They will design and conduct
investigations studying effects of solar
radiation, tilt of the Earth’s axis, and the
water cycle on patterns of weather and the
climate on Earth. (1.3,2.3)
a. Students will design and conduct
investigations to study the effects of
solar radiation, tilt of the Earth’s axis,
and the water cycle on patterns of
weather and the climate on Earth.
