Meteorology Unit Assessment Rubric Meteorology Unit Assessment Rubric Meteorology Content Outcomes Rubric Code: FXW65AW By MCALions Ready to use Public Rubric Subject: Science Type: Project Grade Levels: 6-8

Meteorology Unit 1 % Content Outcomes
	Unmet 1 pts	Basic 2 pts	Emerging 3 pts	Proficient 4 pts
Content Outcome 6 % 11A.1 Demonstrate how air mass source regions affect the characteristics of air masses	Unmet Student does not understand what an air mass or source region is, or the relationships between the two	Basic Student understands what an air mass and source region is, but not the relationship between the two	Emerging Student understands the relationship between an air mass and a source region, and can describe how source regions affect the characteristics of air masses	Proficient Student integrates their understanding of the relationship between an air mass and source region with overall changing weather patterns
Content Outcome 6 % 11A.2 Describe how fronts form between air masses	Unmet Student does not understand what an air front is or how fronts form between air masses	Basic Student understands the basics of what an air front is and how fronts form between air masses, but doesn't understand the affects of temperature and humidity affect them	Emerging Student understands well what an air front is and how fronts form between air masses, and understands that similar temperatures and humidities can allow them to mix	Proficient Student can demonstrate the processes and types of weather fronts and how they are formed
Content Outcome 6 % 11A.3 Describe weather typically associated with each type of front	Unmet Student cannot describe how weather is typically associated with each type of front	Basic Student can describe how weather is generally associated with some types of fronts, but doesn't understand the factors affecting fronts	Emerging Student can describe how weather is typically associated with all types of fronts, and can describe a few factors affecting fronts	Proficient Student can describe how weather is typically associated with all types of fronts, and can describe most factors affecting fronts
Content Outcome 6 % 11A.4 Explain how fronts can cause precipitation to occur	Unmet Student cannot explain how fronts can cause precipitation to occur	Basic Student can generally explain how fronts can cause precipitation to occur, but doesn't understand the concepts of uniformity related to temperature and humidity	Emerging Student can adequately explain how fronts can cause precipitation to occur based on vague understanding of the concepts of uniformity related to temperature and humidity	Proficient Student can effectively explain how fronts can cause precipitation to occur based on a firm understanding of the concepts of uniformity related to temperature and humidity
Content Outcome 6 % 11B.1 Explain how horizontal differences in air pressure produce winds	Unmet Student cannot explain how horizontal differences in air pressure produces winds	Basic Student can explain how horizontal differences in air pressure produces winds, but can't describe the factors effecting winds	Emerging Student can explain how horizontal differences in air pressure produces winds based on specific factors, but cannot describe those factors and how it effects winds	Proficient Student can explain how horizontal differences in air pressure produces winds based on a thorough understanding of all 3 factors effecting them
Content Outcome 6 % 11B.2 Demonstrate how the Coriolis effect influences winds at different latitudes	Unmet Student doesn't understand what the Coriolis effect is, or how it influences winds at different latitudes	Basic Student understand what the Coriolis effect is, but not how it influences winds at different latitudes	Emerging Student understand what the Coriolis effect is and how it influences winds at different latitudes, but doesn't understand what it applies to	Proficient Student understand what the Coriolis effect is and how it influences winds at different latitudes, but doesn't understand what it applies to
Content Outcome 6 % 11B.3 List the factors that control wind speed and direction, both aloft and near the surface	Unmet Student doesn't understand the factors that control wind speed and direction, both aloft and near the surface	Basic Student generally understands the factors that control wind speed and direction, but doesn't understand the winds relationship to the earth's surface	Emerging Student understands all the factors that control wind speed and direction, both aloft and near the surface	Proficient Student understands all the factors that control wind speed and direction with relation to the earth's surface, and can apply it to other types of winds
Content Outcome 6 % 11B.4 Summarized the types of global and local winds and describe some of the causes of local winds	Unmet Student doesn't understand the types of global and local winds, nor describe any of the causes of local winds	Basic Student understands the types of global and local winds, but can't describe any of the causes of local winds	Emerging Student understands the types of global and local winds, and some of the causes of local winds	Proficient Student understands the types of global and local winds, and all of the causes of local winds
Content Outcome 6 % 11B.5 Summarize the prevailing winds and their directions, and can distinguish them from non-global winds	Unmet Student cannot understand or differentiate between prevailing winds or their directions	Basic Student can list the prevailing winds and their directions, but doesn't understand the differences	Emerging Student understands the differences between prevailing winds and their directions, but doesn't understand how they are different than non-global winds	Proficient Student understands prevailing winds, and how to distinguish them from non-global winds
Content Outcome 6 % 11B.6 Specify the belts of high and low pressure where little or no winds exist	Unmet Student doesn't understand the belts of high and low pressure where little or no winds exist	Basic Student understands the belts of high and low pressure where little or no winds exist, but not how it effects the changes in weather patterns	Emerging Student understands the belts of high and low pressure where little or no winds exist, and generally how it effects the changes in weather patterns	Proficient Student understands the belts of high and low pressure where little or no winds exist, and specifically how it effects the changes in weather patterns
Content Outcome 6 % 11C.1 Identify the characteristics of thunderstorms	Unmet Student can't identify the characteristics of thunderstorms	Basic Student can identify a few characteristics of thunderstorms	Emerging Student can identify all the characteristics of thunderstorms, but doesn't understand how a thunderstorm originates	Proficient Student can identify all the characteristics of thunderstorms, and how it originates
Content Outcome 6 % 11C.2 Explain how lightning occurs	Unmet Student doesn't understand how lightning occurs	Basic Student understands how lightning occurs, but can't explain the components that make up a lightning bolt	Emerging Student understands how lightning occurs, and the components that make up a lightning bolt	Proficient Student understands how lightning occurs, and the entire process made up of all the components of a thunderstorm storm
Content Outcome 6 % 11C.3 Summarize the characteristics and dangers of tornadoes	Unmet Student doesn't understand any of the characteristics and dangers of tornadoes	Basic Student understand some of the characteristics and dangers of tornadoes, but not the processes associated with air movement	Emerging Student understands some of the characteristics and dangers of tornadoes, and the processes associated with air movement	Proficient Student understands all of the characteristics and dangers of tornadoes, and the processes associated with air movement
Content Outcome 6 % 11C.4 Identify the main parts of a hurricane on a diagram	Unmet Student doesn't understand the main parts of a hurricane on a diagram	Basic Student can identify some the main parts of a hurricane on a diagram	Emerging Student can identify most of the main parts of a hurricane on a diagram	Proficient Student can identify all of the main parts of a hurricane on a diagram
