Evaluate data and communicate information to explain how the movement and interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions.
Clarification statement: Examples of evidence sources could include station models, surface weather maps, satellite images, radar, and accepted forecast models. Emphasis should focus on communicating how the uneven heating of Earth’s surface and prevailing global winds drive the movement of air masses and their corresponding circulation patterns, the interaction of different air masses at frontal boundaries, and resulting weather phenomena.
Assessment boundary: Analysis is limited to surface weather maps and general weather patterns associated with high and low pressure systems.
Performance Level Descriptions
PLDs communicate the knowledge and skills expected of students to demonstrate proficiency in each Learning Standard. NYS assessments classify student performance into one of five levels.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of HS-ESS2-8.

Assessment
What assessment of HS-ESS2-8 might look like on a NY state exam.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation HS-ESS2-8 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information: Communicate scientific ideas (e.g., about phenomena and/or the process of development and the design and performance of a proposed process or system) in multiple formats (including orally, graphically, textually, and mathematically).
- Weather and climate: Concepts of density and heat energy can be used to explain observations of weather patterns.
- Patterns: Different patterns may be observed at each of the scales at which a system is studied and can provide evidence for causality in explanations of phenomena.
- Patterns: Empirical evidence is needed to identify patterns.
