A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
investigate different types of severe weather events such as a hurricane, tornado, or flood and explain that some events are more likely than others in a given region.

Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Severe weather events occur in observable seasonal and location-specific patterns.
