Weather Watch: Why Can't it be Summer All Year Round?
Unit Goal 2: students will understand the importance of the movement of air in the changing of weather, and recognize how it moves both horizontally and vertically
Essential Question: What is wind?
Big Idea 1: Air movement results in a change in weather.
Big Idea 2: Areas of high and low pressure result in the horizontal and vertical movement of air.
Head: Informational Knowledge on Climate and Weather
Heart: Engaging Discussions and Reflections on Climate and Weather, Connecting to Creation-Enjoying
Unit Goal 1: students will make the connection between weather and climate, and will recognize that the weather happening in one area has been affected and is connected to what is happening somewhere else around the world. The distribution of heat around the world is uneven and affects climate
Essential Question: Why can't it be summer all year round?
Big Idea 3: The atmosphere is made up of layers that keep the planet warm while protecting the Earth from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
Big Idea 1: The amount of energy given off by the sun is dramatically greater around the equator; the ocean and wind move heat energy poleward to maintain climate.
Big Idea 4: What we wear, what sort of activities we do, what foods we eat, how we access water, etc. are all influenced by the climate we live in.
Big Idea 2: Weather: conditions at a given time. Climate: average of weather over a certain period of time.

Unit Goal 3: students will recognize that through their actions, they can have an impact on the climate, and that as stewards of God’s world they have a responsibility to keep that impact in mind
Essential Question: What is the big deal about a rise in global temperature by 2 degrees?
Big Idea 1: Through Jesus’ sacrifice, not only humans, but all of creation has been reconciled. We are meant to live in harmony with nature.
Big Idea 2: Weather: conditions at a given time. Climate: average of weather over a certain period of time.
Big Idea 3: Melting of sea ice, and less snow means less albedo, means more absorption of heat, and a rise in sea-levels.
