  4. National Science Education Standards • Earth Science • Energy in the Earth system • Heating of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere by the sun drives convection within the atmosphere and ocean, producing winds and ocean currents (9-12) • Global winds are part of a pattern of air circulation across the Earth and include the trade winds, westerlies and the polar easterlies

  5. The “Scientific Method” http://www.universetoday.com/74036/what-are-the-steps-of-the-scientific-method/

  6. Three Approaches • Factual • These are “facts” that students should know • Historical • Science (i.e., learning about the world) is done by people (and not always “scientists”) • Synthesis • Science provides a unifying idea (theory) that explains many different things
