MS-ESS2-6 2014
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. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on how patterns vary by latitude,
altitude, and geographic land distribution. Emphasis of atmospheric circulation is on the sunlight-driven latitudinal banding, the
Coriolis effect, and resulting prevailing winds; emphasis of ocean circulation is on the transfer of heat by the global ocean
convection cycle, which is constrained by the Coriolis effect and the outlines of continents. Examples of models can be
diagrams, maps and globes, or digital representations.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the dynamics of the
Coriolis effect.]
Essential Questions
What controls the ocean
currents?
Does the ocean affect the
weather and climates?
The result is the jet stream by?
Content Statements
Climate is influenced locally and
globally by atmospheric
interactions with land masses and
bodies of water.
The Sun provides energy for
plants to grow and drives
convection within the
atmosphere and oceans,
producing winds, ocean currents,
and the water cycle.
Enduring Understandings
Students will understand that the unequal
heating and rotation of the earth has an
affect on the atmospheric and oceanic
patterns that determine a regional
climate. Students will understand the jet
stream, which is a result of many
processes.
Common Core Standards
Connections
Labs, Investigation, and Student Experiences
Student experience: Students will watch a Doppler radar system and digital
models of ocean currents and temperatures. Students will make references to
what they are witnessing by using textual evidence.
