SCIENCE:
WEATHER
Standard 2.E.2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the daily and seasonal weather patterns.
2.E.2A. Conceptual Understanding: Weather is the combination of sunlight, wind, precipitation (rain, sleet, snow, and hail), and temperature in a particular
region at a particular time. Scientists measure and record these conditions to describe the weather and to identify patterns over time. Weather scientists
(meteorologists) forecast severe weather so that communities can prepare for and respond to these events.
Performance Indicators: Students who demonstrate this understanding can:
2.E.2A.1
2.E.2A.2 2.E.2A.3
2.E.2A.4
Analyze and interpret data from observations and measurements to describe local weather conditions (including temperature, wind, and forms of
precipitation).
Analyze local weather data to predict daily and seasonal patterns over time.
Develop and use models to describe and compare the effects of wind (moving air) on objects.
Obtain and communicate information about severe weather conditions to explain why certain safety precautions are necessary.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES
OF WEATHER?
We can always find out what the weather is by watching the
news, but we also can see the weather by looking at various
weather apps on our smartphones and tablets.
You can also always know the weather by looking outside and
determining if it is sunny or rainy, hot or cold., but it is always
good to look at the weather patterns for the week to avoid
severe weather.
WHAT ARE SEVERE
WEATHER
CONDITIONS?
Severe weather is when the
different aspects or types of
weather have the potential of
creating risks to any life or
property.
Some types of weather
conditions are severe
thunderstorms, strong winds,
tornadoes, large hail, flash
flooding, snowstorms, ice
storms and hurricanes.
