compare and describe day-to-day weather in different locations at the same time, including air temperature, wind direction, and precipitation;
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.
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.
measure, record, and graph weather information, including temperature and precipitation; and
compare and describe day-to-day weather in different locations at the same time, including air temperature, wind direction, and precipitation;
differentiate between weather and climate.
Matter and energy are conserved, changing forms but maintaining quantities. Energy flows within a system or between systems through transfers and transformations. Matter is cycled within systems through physical and chemical processes.
Temperature changes are caused by the flow of thermal energy, which can cause surface winds.
