There is good theoretical reason to think that an accelerating greenhouse effect will affect weather: Add greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere, and they trap more heat. In hotter conditions, more water evaporates from the ocean, which eventually falls as precipitation. Heat is energy, and more energy in the ocean and atmosphere provides more power to drive intense storms.
Language• Contains a range of
compound and simple and sentences
• May contain more than 1 concept in a sentence

Using data collected on the Diagnostic Tool for Text Complexity, is this a complex text?
What would be an appropriate grade level for this text?
What are the implications for instruction if you used this text?
![Page 38: Practice with Text Complexity Science. Review the 3 dimensions of text complexity Analyze the 3 dimensions of text complexity using a science text.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e875503460f94b8ba50/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Such factors as students’ motivation, knowledge, and experiences must also come into play in text selection. Students deeply interested in a given topic, for example, may engage with texts on that subject across a range of complexity.
Particular tasks may also require students to read harder texts than they would normally be required to.
Conversely, teachers who have had success using particular texts that are less complex than those required for a given grade band should continue their use. However, students should engage with texts of increasing text complexity during the year. By the end of the year, students should be reading grade level text as defined in CCSS 10.
