PLD table: tag each question chip with its exam discipline for color coding

2026-10-18T13:33:11Z

PLD table: abbreviate question labels to match the questions-by-performance-level pages (e.g. "Aug 2026 · Q14")

2026-10-17T13:55:08Z

Vocabulary section (terms from the Middle School Science Glossary) and PLD example questions

2026-10-13T17:02:58Z

SEO: topic in title, description, exam names in link text, standard template now sets the title

2026-09-21T02:37:37Z

Reorder sections: Assessment, then Performance Level Descriptions, then Resources

2026-09-21T02:23:50Z

Assessment section: table of all tagged exam and sample-cluster questions, grouped by subject and exam (most recent first)

 | cs = Emphasis is on how patterns vary by latitude, altitude, and geographic land distribution. Emphasis is on the sunlight-driven latitudinal banding causing differences in density that create convection currents in the atmosphere, the Coriolis effect, and resulting prevailing winds; emphasis of ocean circulation is on the transfer of heat by the global ocean convection cycle, which is constrained by the Coriolis effect and the coastlines of continents. Examples of models could include diagrams, maps and globes, or digital representations.
