5K Weather
Standard:
The student will demonstrate an understanding of daily seasonal weather patterns.
Conceptual Understanding:
Weather is a combination of sunlight, wind, snow or rain, and temperature in a particular region at a particular time. Scientists measure weather conditions to describe and record the weather and to notice patterns over time. Plants and animals (including humans) respond to different weather conditions in different ways.

Performance Indicator:
K.E.3A.1 Analyze and interpret local weather condition data (including precipitation, wind, temperature, and cloud cover) to describe weather patterns that occur from day to day, using simple graphs and pictorial weather symbols.
Essential Knowledge
Recognize weather changes on a daily basis. There are many different types of weather conditions, for example, sunny, rainy, stormy, snowy, cloudy, windy, hot, wet, or cold.
Extended Knowledge
• Weather conditions may vary in other parts of the country or world.
• General weather patterns for specific regions in the United States (I.E. longer winter weather in northern states; drier weather conditions in mid-west states, etc.)
