Name:__________________________________ Date:__________ Pd:___ Unpacking the Standards (Unit 5-Weather and Climate) Standard S6E4 and S6E6: (Circle the noun(s) and underline the verb(s).) S6E4. Students will understand how the distribution of land and oceans affect climate and weather. S6E6. Students will describe various sources of energy and with their uses and conservation. S6E2 Students will understand the effects of the relative positions of the earth, moon, & sun. Overarching Learning Question 1. How does the sun interact with the earth to produce weather and climate? Learning Questions 1. How does an ocean affect the weather and climate of adjacent land? 2. How does the sun’s heating of water in the tropics affect climate in the rest of the world? 3. What happens to water after it evaporates from the oceans and land? 4. How does the sun’s energy cause winds, thunderstorms, tornados, and hurricanes? 5. How does the tilt of the earth affect the seasons and Earth’s climate? Enduring Understandings Students will understand that: 1. Because the Earth turns daily on an axis that is tilted relative to the plane of the Earth's yearly orbit around the sun, sunlight falls more intensely on different parts of the Earth during the year. The difference in heating of the Earth's surface produces the planet's seasons and weather patterns. 2. The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere plays an important role in determining climatic patterns. 3. The sun is the major source of energy for phenomena on the Earth's surface, including winds, ocean currents, and waves. 4. Heat energy carried by ocean currents has a strong influence on climate around the world. Do (Verbs-from the standards) S6E 4-A. Demonstrate Know (Nouns-From the standards) A.
