Expectations

SM1.a
Construct an explanation for how atmospheric properties (i.e., temperature, density, chemical composition, pressure and moisture) influence its structure.
SM1.b
Develop a model that explains seasonal variations in insolation including length of daylight hours, angle of midday sun, and Earth’s axial tilt.
SM1.c
Plan and carry out an investigation to explain how albedo and specific heat (land versus water surfaces) create differences in surface heating.
