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.
