Course Purpose: |
Students will organize and use data to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season and devise plans to reduce the effects of hazardous weather events. |
Outcomes and Components:
| SC.3.2 | Students will evaluate organisms in an area and describe environmental changes that may cause adaptations and affect the traits of those organisms. | ||
