| Shown In table 5:
Air P = 28.10
Cloud Cov = 100
Amt Prec. = 1.5
"...as the humidity and temperature rise the air
pressure decreases."
"I chose 100% for cloud cover because during the
last day it has increased. For precipitation I chose 1.5
inches because the amount of rain was increasing during
the last few days.

All three predictions conform to the data given
in the table.
A key connection between air temperature, air pressure,
and humidity is made indicating that the student recognizes
that the weather factors are interacting.
The explanations offered for cloud cover and precipitation
do not support the predictions, even though the predictions
are within acceptable ranges..

This paper could have been a 4 if a better line of reasoning
was followed to explain the predictions for cloud cover and
precipitation. For example, in following with the stated connection
between humidity, temperature, and air pressure, it could
also have been said that as the relative humidity is high,
cloud cover and precipitation are also high.
In addition, the response could do a better job of indicating
a high level of understanding by providing clarification
of terms and concepts and/or explaining how the stated connections
work to create the weather.
