Science Standards: MS-ESS2 (Earth’s Systems); MS-ESS3 (Earth and Human Activity); MS-LS2 (Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics)
What is the difference between weather and climate? Is the planet really warming or are we just experiencing strange weather patterns of late? If the climate is changing, what is causing this to occur? These lessons will introduce students to the tools used by meteorologists to predict weather patterns and explore the science behind climate change and how it effects the natural environment.
