Standard:
4c Students know the causes and effects of different types of severe weather.


Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
Pages B52-B57 provide moderate coverage of this standard. Additional limited coverage is provided on pages B36-B37, B50-B51, B64-B65, B72-B73.

Aspects that help student learning:
Text provides separate descriptions and details on thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes.


Aspects that do not help student learning:
The California Science Framework (page 76) describes the cyclone phenomenon as the cause of many big hurricanes and other storms. The text on pages B54-B55 does not readily match with the description in the Framework.
