describe and record observable characteristics of weather, including hot or cold, clear or cloudy, calm or windy, and rainy or icy, and explain the impact of weather on daily choices.
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.

Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
There are patterns of daily and seasonal weather characteristics that impact human activities and daily clothing choices.
Cause-and-effect relationships are relationships between two or more variables or phenomena whereby one variable or event leads to a predictable response. Events have causes—sometimes simple, sometimes multi-faceted.
In sunny, dry weather, (cause) people may wear shorts, sandals, or go swimming (effect). In cloudy, wet weather, (cause) people tend to stay indoors or use an umbrella (effect).
Stability describes a system that does not change at the observed scale. In a stable system, a small disturbance will die out and the system will return to a stable state. Change in the system can come from modifying a factor or condition.
Weather conditions (stable) can be interrupted by various changes that affect human clothing choices or activities.
