Standard Course of Study Objectives - Science
Objective (2.03) Describe weather using measurement of: temperature, wind direction and precipitation. Objective (2.04) Identify instruments used to measure weather conditions. Objective (2.06) Observe and record weather observations over a period of time, & relate this to time of year and season.
Standard Course of Study Objectives - Math
Objective (1.04) Develop fluency with multidigit addition and subtraction using multiple strategies. Objective (4.01) Collect, organize, describe, and display data.
Weather Weather is what the air outside is like.
Weather begins with energy from the sun.
The earth moves in an orbit or path around the sun.
It takes one year or 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun.
In many places the weather changes from season to season.
WINTER SPRING SUMMER FALL
Winter is the coldest season of the year. It is icy at times.
In spring the warm rainy weather helps plants to grow.
In summer the days are often hot and sunny.
In fall the air grows cooler. Some trees change colors before the leaves fall off.
The water cycle is the way water moves from the air to land and back to the air.
Weather conditions can be measured using tools. This week we have used several weather tools.
First we used the thermometer to measure the temperature.
We used our rain gauge to measure precipitation or rainfall.
We used the weather vane that we made along with our compass to measure wind direction.
Based on our data collections this week, we will discuss and draw conclusions about the weather.
