Our Amazing Atmosphere Summative Assessment Rubric You are an atmospheric scientist and you have been asked to share your expertise about the Earth’s atmosphere by writing a feature article for a popular science magazine. The editors have asked you to include information about the structure and composition of the Earth’s atmosphere as well as information on how it insulates and protects the planet. Please be sure to include text features to enhance your reader’s understanding of these concepts. You may use your notes in your science notebook, the information from your atmosphere flip book, and research from any sources that you used. Make sure to cite your sources.in a bibliography at the end of your article. 4 Advanced 3 Proficient 2 Basic 1 Novice The five layers of the atmosphere have been identified.
