Obtain, evaluate, and communicate weather data to identify weather patterns.
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate weather data to identify weather patterns.
Represent data in tables and/or graphs to identify and describe different types of weather and the characteristics of each type.
Ask questions to identify forms of precipitation such as rain, snow, sleet, and hailstones as either solid (ice) or liquid (water).
Plan and carry out investigations on current weather conditions by observing, measuring with simple weather instruments (thermometer, wind vane, rain gauge), and recording weather data (temperature, precipitation, sky conditions, and weather events) in a periodic journal, on a calendar, and graphically.
Analyze data to identify seasonal patterns of change.
