Use the information in this box to answer questions 15 & 16:

On a spring day, in Worcester, Massachusetts, a local river has flooded. A student asks their science teacher what caused the river to flood. The teacher explains that the flooding is a result of seasonal weather and the water cycle.

Use the data table to answer the question.


Criteria For Success:

Claim:
Think about where the groundwater comes from.
Write: Identify what season has the least groundwater.
Evidence: Identify the number and unit from the data table that support your claim AND how it compares to the other data/numbers. Use evidence from the data table  to support your claim.

Reasoning:
Identify where groundwater comes from
Explain why there would be less ground water during that season.
Science Word Bank (You can use these words, you don't have to use all of them):  groundwater, data table, precipitation, temperature

Use the data table to answer the question.


Criteria For Success:

Claim:
Think about which phase change moves from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere.
Write: Identify what season has the greatest amount of water moving from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere
Evidence: Identify the number and unit from the data table that support your claim AND how it compares to the other data/numbers. Use evidence from the data table to support your claim.

Reasoning: 
Identify (the name) and explain the phase change and temperature of water moving from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere.
Explain why this city would have the most water moving into the atmosphere.

7
