Clarification Statement - S.MS.ESS.2.5.CS:
Emphasis is on how air flows from regions of high pressure to low pressure, the complex interactions at airmass boundaries, and the movements of air masses affect weather (defined by temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind at a fixed loc

Assessment Boundary - S.MS.ESS.2.5.AB:
Assessment includes the application of weather data systems but does not include recalling the names of cloud types, weather symbols used on weather maps, the reported diagrams from weather stations, or the interrelationship of weather variables.

Science and Engineering Practices - 6-8.SEP3.2:
Collect data to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence to answer scientific questions or test design solutions under a range of conditions.

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.MS.ESS.2.5.DCI:
ESS2.C: The Roles of Water in Earth’s Surface Processes •The complex patterns of the changes and the movement of water in the atmosphere, determined by winds, landforms, and ocean temperatures and currents, are major determinants of local weather patterns. ESS2.D: Weather and Climate •Because these patterns are so complex, weather can only be predicted probabilistically.

Crosscutting Concepts - CC2.5:
Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
