HS-ESS2-4: Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems result in changes in climate.
Clarification Statement: Examples of the causes of climate change differ by timescale, over 1-10 years: large volcanic eruption, ocean circulation; 10-100s of years:
changes in human activity, ocean circulation, solar output; 10-100s of thousands of years: changes to Earth's orbit and the orientation of its axis; and 10-100s of
millions of years: long-term changes in atmospheric composition.
Assessment Boundary: Assessment of the results of changes in climate is limited to changes in surface temperatures, precipitation patterns, glacial ice volumes,

Earth's Energy Flows and Climate
http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/pcep15-sci-ess-energyflows/earths-energy-flows-and-climate/
In this lesson, students will learn how Earth's climate results from the ways that energy enters, circulates within, and flows out of the
Earth system. Explore the flows of energy in regional locations and then at the global level to understand how the increased greenhouse
effect causes global warming.
From the given model in the lesson above, students will identify and describe the components of the model relevant for their mechanistic
descriptions. Given models include at least one factor that affects the input of energy, at least one factor that affects the output of
energy, and at least one factor that affects the storage and redistribution of energy. Factors are derived from the following list:
- Changes in Earth’s orbit and the orientation of its axis
Exploration
- Changes in the sun’s energy output
Student Inquiry
- Configuration of continents resulting from tectonic activity
- Ocean circulation
- Atmospheric composition (including amount of water vapor and CO2)

From the given model, students identify the relevant different time scales on which the factors operate.
