Content Source:

PBS

Type:

Interactive/Game

Overview:

Discover the science behind stormy weather like tornados, hurricanes, and floods with this lesson made for future meteorologists. Try to stay dry with a puddle-loving duck as you learn about changing weather patterns.

Content Standard(s):

Science
SC2015 (2015)
Grade: 2

8 ) Make observations from media to obtain information about Earth's events that happen over a short period of time (e.g., tornados, volcanic explosions, earthquakes) or over a time period longer than one can observe (e.g., erosion of rocks, melting of glaciers).

NAEP Framework

NAEP Statement::
E4.3: The surface of Earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes such as erosion and weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.

Unpacked Content

Scientific And Engineering Practices:

Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information

Crosscutting Concepts: Stability and Change

Disciplinary Core Idea: Earth's Systems

Evidence Of Student Attainment:

Students:

Use information from several sources to determine patterns and provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly.

Teacher Vocabulary:

Earth events/natural phenomena
Earthquake
Flood
Tornado

Landslides
Weathering

Knowledge:

Students know:

Earth events and the results of those events may occur slowly or rapidly.
Some events are much longer than can be observed.

Skills:

Students are able to:

Make observations and obtain information from multiple sources to provide evidence about Earth events.

Understanding:

Students understand that:

Eart's events may change the Earth slowly or rapidly.
