Item Analysis 5.E.1.3 Explain how global patterns such as the jet stream and water currents influence local weather in measurable terms such as temperature, wind direction and speed, and precipitation. 5.P.3.1 Explain the effects of the transfer of heat (either by direct contact or at a distance) that occurs between objects at different temperatures (conduction, convection, or radiation).

Item Analysis Lesson 4 – American Weather: proximity to water; water and soil heat and cool at different rates Lesson 6 – What Drives the Weather? Sun’s energy heats air, water, and land; convection chamber demo

Item Analysis

Item Analysis CMAPP Days 65-66: Heat Transfer Alignment Lesson: review convection, conduction, and radiation

Survey Results Over 100 responses- thank you!!! This information will hopefully help us increase funding for science instruction We are NOT mandating a specific order for all schools to follow We want to provide “just in time” training
