PART 3- Modeling Heat Transfer at the Poles and specifically on Greenland
HS-PS3-2. Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative positions of particles (objects).
Model includes accurate, clear descriptions, labels, connections between different parts of the system and explanations of phenomenon
Model shows different scales - Macroscopic (Arctic and Antarctica, Greenland ice melt) Microscopic (particle models for ice melting)
Mathematical calculations estimating sea level rise from ice melting on Greenland (showing work along with explanations)
Explanations are accurate, detailed, answer all parts of questions and use science and math principles to explain phenomenon (i.e. changes in energy and matter, volume and area relationships)
3-Mostly accurate or missing 1-2 parts from level 4
