- MS-ESS2-5 Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results 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.
Enduring Understandings
- Complex interactions determine local weather patterns and influence climate, including the role of the ocean.
- How do the interactions of solar energy, water, land forms and living things affect weather and climate?
