predict the next day’s weather
f. Recognize that significant changes in
temperature and barometric pressure may
cause dramatic weather phenomena (i.e.,
severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes)
Concept G: The geosphere, hydrosphere and
atmosphere are continually interacting
through processes that transfer energy and
Earth materials
f. On current weather products, students will
associate severe weather with weather
patterns on a national weather map. (1.6)
Not assessed at this level
f. Students will reflect upon weather
patterns as they relate to temperature and
parametric pressure.

resourcefulness
a. Distinguish between renewable (e.g.,
geothermal, hydroelectric) and
nonrenewable (e.g., fossil fuels) energy
sources

a. As a class, students will create a list of
energy sources used on Earth. Label them
as renewable or non-renewable. (1.2; 1.5;
1.8; 2.3; 2.6; 4.6)
a. Students will research various energy
resources in their region and determine
with are renewable and which are not.
Scope and Sequence – Weather & Climate
b. Provide examples of how the availability
of fresh water for humans and other living
organisms is dependent upon the water
cycle
R
C9
b. Students will trace the path that water may
take after having been used as a fresh
water source. They will do research on the
resident time for each location water
reservoir. (1.2; 1.5)
b. Students will understand how much of
Earth’s water is available to humans as
fresh water and describe to location of
most of the fresh water on Earth.
