- Meteorology Honors (#2001330): This interdisciplinary science course covers the fundamentals of meteorology, emphasizing the physical and chemical processes that control Earth’s weather and climate. Course topics include solar energy, atmospheric and oceanic movement, and energy transfer. Students will study and practice weather prediction using technology, data and models. In addition, students will learn the forces behind the formation of severe weather events. The course will cover the history of Earth’s climate and the practices and tools used to study meteorology as well as the forces behind fluctuations in the Earth’s weather and climate over time such as Milankovich Cycles, and ice ages. Students have the opportunity to access real-world empirical data to study weather patterns both globally and locally, model the processes that impact changes using basic mathematical expressions, graphing and statistics, and test the relationship between predictions and observations. The course also includes opportunities to practice science literacy by teaching from a range of complex texts that vary in length, and feature empirical evidence. Students will also be provided extensive research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence).
Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Advanced courses require a greater demand on students through increased academic rigor. Academic rigor is obtained through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted. Students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning. Honors level rigor will be achieved by increasing text complexity through text selection, focus on high-level qualitative measures, and complexity of task. Instruction will be structured to give students a deeper understanding of conceptual themes and organization within and across disciplines. Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work.
This course has been designed for the teacher to select and teach only the appropriate standards corresponding to a student's grade level and/or instructional needs.
English Language Development ELD Standards Special Notes Section:
Teachers are required to provide listening, speaking, reading and writing instruction that allows English language learners (ELL) to communicate information, ideas and concepts for academic success in the content area of Science. For the given level of English language proficiency and with visual, graphic, or interactive support, students will interact with grade level words, expressions, sentences and discourse to process or produce language necessary for academic success The ELD standard should specify a relevant content area concept or topic of study chosen by curriculum developers and teachers which maximizes an ELL’s need for communication and social skills.
