Sci6.3: The student will investigate and understand the role of solar energy in driving most natural processes within the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and on the Earth's surface. Sci6.5: The student will investigate and understand the unique properties and characteristics of water and its roles in the natural and human-made environment. Sci6.6: The student will investigate and understand the properties of air and the structure and dynamics of the Earth's atmosphere.
