weather conditions expected during a particular season

3-ESS2-2. Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different

regions of the world

3-ESS3-1. Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the
impacts of a weather-related hazard

Key Terms
Atmosphere, weather, temperature, precipitation, wind, air pressure, cloud,
evaporation, water vapor, condensation, water cycle, tornado, hurricane, blizzard,
climate, seasons, hazard, disaster, earthquake, earth tremor, volcanic eruptions,
landslides, mudslides, tsunamis, hurricanes, plagues, droughts, floods, wildfires,
tornados

Requisite Knowledge: At the beginning of the unit, students should be familiar
with the four seasons, and be able to apply their own experiences to what they
understand about seasons. Students should be able to describe different types of
severe weather conditions they may have heard of, learned about, or seen
personally. Students should be able to describe how some people respond in severe
weather conditions. Students should be able to give reasons why we may want to
understand severe weather, and how it affects the earth.

Knowledge Gained from Unit
Name and describe the four seasons

Understand the difference between weather and climate

Explain how the water cycle relates to weather

Make predictions about a places temperature and precipitation and the

weather conditions it experiences

Make suggestions and predictions about how to make improvements to the

environment

Make suggestions or predictions about how to prevent severe weather

conditions

Understand what people need to do to prepare and protect themselves

against inevitable severe weather

What will students gain from this unit?
After completing this unit, students will be able to explain what weather is in
their own words. They will be able to use models and charts to identify different
phases of the water cycle. They will be able to apply their understanding of how the
water cycle works in a model, to how it works in real life. They will better
understand how the relationship of Earths position affects the climate of a
particular place. Finally, they will be able to use their knowledge of weather
patterns to discover the history of hazardous weather. They will be able to identify
dangerous circumstances that expedite hazardous weather; for example humans
imprint. With this information, they will be able to design a plan to help diminish
humans negative impact on Earth. Students will understand that while efforts to
help the planet are worthy, nature still has a great impact on us, and preparation is
important.
