PENNSYLVANIA Date: March 20, 2014 ET Susquenita Curriculum Course: General Earth/Space Science Curriculum: Topic: Unit 2: Meteorology Days: 30 Subject(s): Science Know: S11.A.3.3.3 -- Essential Analyze physical patterns of motion to make predictions or draw conclusions (e.g., , weather systems, ). S11.D.2.1.1 -- Important Describe how changes in concentration of minor components (e.g., O2, CO2, ozone, dust, pollution) in Earth's atmosphere are linked to climate change. S11.D.2.1.2 -- Important Compare the transmission, reflection, absorption, and radiation of solar energy to and by the Earth's surface under different environmental conditions (e.g., major volcanic eruptions, greenhouse effect, reduction of ozone layer; increased global cloud cover) Grade(s): 9th Understand: Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a particular place for a short period of time. Climate is a general weather condition over a long period of time. The major components of weather and claimate are air temperature, humidity, cloudiness, precipitation, air pressure, and wind.
