Global Climate Change

Performance Expectation

MS-ESS3-5: Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century.

I can explain the evidence that Earth's climate is changing and what factors are causing it.

Changes in temperature and precipitation can affect things you experience, such as heat waves, droughts, flooding, and severe weather.

Changes in climate can affect growing seasons, water availability, and the crops farmers can grow.

Rising temperatures and changing conditions can affect communities, especially in areas vulnerable to heat, drought, flooding, or rising sea levels.

Scientists, engineers, and communities are developing ways to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and prepare for changes that are already occurring.
