Weather Objectives:
Strand 5: Processes and Interactions of the Earth’s systems (Geosphere, Atmosphere, and Hydrosphere)
Water Cycle: The learner will be able to describe how water remains constant as it travels through the water cycle in different atmospheric conditions and give examples of how the availability of fresh water for living organisms is dependent upon the cycle.
Atmosphere Composition: The learner will describe the composition of the atmosphere and how it circulates as air masses, its role in precipitation, reflecting and filtering light from the sun and trapping heat energy emitted from the Earth's surface.
Convective Air Currents: The learner will recognize the sun is the primary source of most of our energy
and the uneven heating the Earth's surface results in causes air to move due to convective currents.
Weather and Climate: The learner will recognize the factors that affect weather and climate.
Weather Forecasting: The learner will collect, interpret, and predict weather patterns and weather data using instruments and maps.
