Learning Domain: Earth's Systems
Standard: Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.
Learning Domain: Earth and Human Activity
Standard: Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard.
Science Domain: Earth and Space Sciences
Topic: Weather and Climate
Standard: Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season. [Clarification Statement: Examples of data could include average temperature, precipitation, and wind direction.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment of graphical displays is limited to pictographs and bar graphs. Assessment does not include climate change.]
Science Domain: Earth and Space Sciences
Topic: Weather and Climate
Standard: Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard. [Clarification Statement: Examples of design solutions to weather-related hazards could include barriers to prevent flooding, wind resistant roofs, and lightning rods.]
Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Environmental Impacts on Organisms
Standard: Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago. [Clarification Statement: Examples of data could include type, size, and distributions of fossil organisms. Examples of fossils and environments could include marine fossils found on dry land, tropical plant fossils found in Arctic areas, and fossils of extinct organisms.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include identification of specific fossils or present plants and animals. Assessment is limited to major fossil types and relative ages.]
