Science.K.10.B

Previous Next
The student is expected to

observe and describe weather changes from day to day and over seasons; and

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.”

SCIENCE.K.10.B — Vertical Alignment

S.K.10.B

observe and describe weather changes from day to day and over seasons; and

S.4.9.A

S.1.9

describe and predict the patterns of seasons of the year such as order of occurrence and changes in nature.

S.6.9.A

Recurring themes and concepts — Connections to the content

Recurring themes and concepts provide a connective structure for scientific ideas across disciplines. The connection(s) below show some ways that teachers can help students understand how the content they are learning fits into the broader understanding of science. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made but highlight some that are appropriate for this grade level.
Patterns

Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
 

There are short-term patterns in weather systems, such as several rainy days followed by several sunny days, and long-term seasonal patterns, such as hot clear skies in the summer and colder cloudy days in the winter.
 

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.

Social Studies

SS.K.4.A identify the physical characteristics of place such as landforms, bodies of water, Earth's resources, and weather

English Language Arts and Reading

ELAR.K.6.B provide an oral, pictorial, or written response to a text

ELAR.K.12.E use an appropriate mode of delivery, whether written, oral, or multimodal, to present results

Technology Applications

TA.K.4.A communicate an understanding that data is information collected about people, events, or objects such as computer searches and weather patterns
