Exploration Question 2: What information is used to describe climates in different regions of the world? ESS2.D Weather and Climate Scientists record patterns of the weather across different times and areas so that they can make predictions about what kind of weather might happen next.
I Can: * Identify and describe the symbols used to predict and interpret weather. * Identify and describe the symbols used to predict and interpret weather.* Create and describe a wind vane and how it is used.
ESS2.D Weather and Climate Climate describes a range of an area's typical weather conditions and the extent to which those conditions vary over years.
I Can: * Gather historic weather data for cities around the world to determine the climate for a given city.*Interpret historic weather data for cities around the world to determine the climate for a given city. * Analyze data to determine a new location for the Polar Bear Plunge. * Explain why a climate would be suitable to host a Polar Bear Plunge. |
