Science Standards specifically covered by "Hurricane in a Classroom":

• hydrologic cycle

• meteorology, including development of hazardous weather, weather mapping, weather systems, frontal development, and satellite imagery

Describe the changes that occur over time in different Earth system processes.

• SC.D.1.4.3 know that changes in Earth’s climate, geological activity, and life forms may be traced and compared.

• SC.D.1.4.4 know that Earth’s systems and organisms are the result of a long, continuous change over time.

Describe and interpret types of erosion with emphasis on soil types, glaciation, ocean currents, and weather patterns.

• SC.B.1.4.1 understand how knowledge of energy is fundamental to all the scientific disciplines (e.g., the energy required for biological processes in living organisms and the energy required for the building, erosion, and rebuilding of the Earth).

• SC.D.1.4.1 know how climatic patterns on Earth result from an interplay of many factors (Earth’s topography, its rotation on its axis, solar radiation, the transfer of heat energy where the atmosphere interfaces with lands and oceans, and wind and ocean currents).

• SC.D.1.4.3 know that changes in Earth’s climate, geological activity, and life forms may be traced and compared.

Interpret and develop topographic, geologic, and weather maps.

• SC.D.1.4.3 know that changes in Earth’s climate, geological activity, and life forms may be traced and compared.

Describe how the earth/space sciences interact with technology and society.

• SC.D.2.4.1 understand the interconnectedness of the systems on Earth and the quality of life.

• SC.H.3.4.1 know that performance testing is often conducted using small scale models, computer simulations, or analogous systems to reduce the chance of system failure.

• SC.H.3.4.2 know that technological problems often create a demand for new scientific knowledge and that new technologies make it possible for scientists to extend their research in a way that advances science.

• SC.H.3.4.3 know that scientists can bring information, insights, and analytical skills to matters of public concern and help people understand the possible causes and effects of events.

• SC.H.3.4.5 know that the value of a technology may differ for different people and at different times.

• SC.H.3.4.6 know that scientific knowledge is used by those who engage in design and technology to solve practical problems, taking human values and limitations into account.
