Standards:
CCSS: ELA
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.9-10.4
Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words
and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant
to grades 9-10 texts and topics
Benchmarks for Science Literacy
4B/H5 ( Grades: 9-12 ): Climatic conditions result from latitude, altitude, and from the position
of mountain ranges, oceans, and lakes. Dynamic processes such as cloud formation, ocean
currents, and atmospheric circulation patterns influence climates as well.
8C/H6 ( Grades: 9-12 ): The useful energy output of a device—that is, what energy is available
for further change—is always less than the energy input, with the difference usually appearing as
thermal energy. One goal in the design of such devices is to make them as efficient as possible—
that is, to maximize the useful output for a given input.
8C/H7 ( Grades: 9-12 ): During any transformation of energy, there is inevitably some
dissipation of energy into the environment. In this practical sense, energy gets "used up," even
though it is still around somewhere.
NSTA National Science Education Standards
D.1.9 ( Grades: 5-8 ): Clouds, formed by the condensation of water vapor, affect weather and
climate.
F.3.1 ( Grades: 5-8 ): Internal and external processes of the earth system cause natural hazards,
events that change or destroy human and wildlife habitats, damage property, and harm or kill
humans. Natural hazards include earthquakes, landslides, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, floods,
storms, and even possible impacts of asteroids.
