STANDARD
LEARNING PROGRESSIONS
● I am learning how air masses affect weather patterns ● I am learning how global winds affect weather patterns ● I am learning how air pressure affects weather patterns ● I am learning how solar energy and weather differs based on latitude, elevation, and mountain and water proximity ● I am learning about technologies used to forecast weather ● I am learning how meteorologists use data patterns, graphs, and models to predict weather conditions ● I am learning about albedo and how it affects weather and climate
ESS 3.4 Analyze and interpret patterns in data about the factors infuencing weather of a given location. Emphasize the amount of solar energy received due to latitude, elevation, the proximity to mountains and/ or large bodies of water, air mass formation and movement, and air pressure gradients.
