This document outlines a 7th grade science self-assessment on weather and climate. It contains learning targets and questions to test students' understanding of key concepts like the water cycle, atmosphere, weather vs. climate, ocean currents, and weather forecasting. Students are asked to rate their proficiency on a scale of 1 to 3 for each learning target, such as explaining the water cycle and its relationship to humidity, describing how the sun creates convection currents, and using weather maps to forecast conditions. They also check off which vocabulary terms they were able to use correctly.

7th Grade Science: Weather and Climate Prove It Self Assessment
Unit: Weather and Climate
Essential Questions: What is the source of energy for the water cycle? What are the components and processes of the water cycle? How are winds and ocean currents produced? How does climate compare to weather? How does the Sun produce energy and how is the Earth affected? What causes different weather conditions? What is the composition of the atmosphere? Learning Target: I can explain the water cycle and describe each of the stages. This means I can explain how evaporation, transpiration, condensation, and precipitation work together to form a cycle. This also means I can explain the concept of humidity at any stage of the water cycle and its relationship to temperature. (E.ES.07.81)

Prove it:
I can draw or create a model of the water cycle. See above for descriptors. (E.ES.07.11)
Prove it:
I can describe the flow of the hydrosphere. This means I can connect how water hits the Earths surface and flows over the land and through the lithosphere and collects in a variety of places (oceans, streams, lakes, ponds, underground aquifers etc). (E.ES.07.82)
Prove it:
I can identify the similarities and differences between weather and climate. (E.ES.07.71)

Prove it:
I can compare and contrast the composition of the atmosphere at different
elevations. This means I can describe the activities and temperature of each layer. (E.FE.07.12)
Prove it:
I can describe the atmosphere as a mixture of gases. This means I can
identify what each layer of the atmosphere is made up of. I can also describe the activities and temperature of each layer and the order of the layers through the atmosphere. (E.FE.07.11)
Prove it:
I can describe how the sun warms the air and the water to create convection currents in the form of wind and ocean currents. This means I can explain why the air and the ocean move. (E.ES.07.13)
Prove it:
I can describe how the convection currents in the atmosphere cause
different weather and climate conditions. This means I can describe the four air masses, the types of weather the air masses bring with them, and describe where each of the air masses formed. (E.ES.07.72)
Prove it:
I can explain how the temperatures of the ocean affects the weather and climate on Earth. This means I can explain how the air masses move in relationship to the temperatures of the water. (E.ES.07.73)

Prove it:
I can use weather maps and current weather conditions to forecast the weather. This means: I can describe the 4 fronts what causes each one; the weather that follows each front; the way the front appears on a weather map. I can describe the weather that is associated with the three main cloud types and I can describe the meaning of the prefixes and suffixes in cloud names. I can describe how air masses (including the jet stream) move across North America. (E.ES.07.74)
