[3.ESS.2.2] - Obtain and summarize information about the climate of different regions of the world to illustrate that typical weather conditions over a year vary by region.Clarification Statement: Examples of information can include climate data (average temperature, average precipitation, average wind speed) or comparative descriptions of seasonal weather for different regions; State Assessment Boundary: An understanding of climate change is not expected in state assessment.

No Predecessor Standards found.

Successor Standards:

  • 8.ESS.2.6
    Describe how interactions involving the ocean affect weather and climate on a regional scale, including the influence of the ocean temperature as mediated by energy input from the Sun and energy loss due to evaporation or redistribution via ocean currents. Clarification Statement: A regional scale includes a state or multi-state perspective. State Assessment Boundary: Koppen Climate Classification names are not expected in state assessment.

Same Level Standards:

  • RI.3.1
    Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
  • RI.3.2
    Determine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea.
  • RI.3.9
    Compare and contrast the most important points and key details presented in two texts on the same topic.
  • 3.ESS.2.1
    Use graphs and tables of local weather data to describe and predict typical weather during a particular season in an area. Clarification Statements: Examples of weather data could include temperature, amount and type of precipitation (e.g., rain, snow), wind direction, and wind speed; Graphical displays should focus on pictographs and bar graphs.
  • 3.LS.4.4
    Analyze and interpret given data about changes in a habitat and describe how the changes may affect the ability of organisms that live in that habitat to survive and reproduce. Clarification Statements: Changes should include changes to landforms, distribution of water, climate, and availability of resources; Changes in the habitat could range in time from a season to a decade; While it is understood that ecological changes are complex, the focus should be on a single change to the habitat.
