PreK-ESS2-1(MA). Raise questions and engage in discussions about how different types of local environments (including water) provide homes for different kinds of living things.]]> 2021-07-27 17:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/emerksamer/53diskdzfekeodb3/wish/1662338707 K emerksamer https://padlet.com/emerksamer/53diskdzfekeodb3/wish/1662339885 ESS2-1. Use and share quantitative observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.
Clarification Statements: 
  • Examples of quantitative observations could include numbers of sunny, windy, and rainy days in a month, and relative temperature.
  • Quantitative observations should be limited to whole numbers.

Clarification Statements: 
  • Solutions to be compared could include different designs of dikes and windbreaks to hold back wind and water, and different designs for using shrubs, grass, and trees to hold back the land. 
  • Solutions can be generated or provided.

Make observations and collect data to provide evidence that rocks, soils, and sediments are broken into smaller pieces through mechanical weathering and moved around through erosion. 
Clarification Statements: 
  • Mechanical weathering processes can include frost wedging, abrasion, and tree root wedging. 
  • Erosion can include movement by blowing wind, flowing water, and moving ice.

Use a model to describe the cycling of water through a watershed through evaporation, precipitation, absorption, surface runoff, and condensation]]> 2021-07-27 18:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/emerksamer/53diskdzfekeodb3/wish/1662340816 3rd Grade emerksamer https://padlet.com/emerksamer/53diskdzfekeodb3/wish/1662343395 3-ESS2-1. Use graphs and tables of local weather data to describe and predict typical weather during a particular season in an area.
Clarification Statements: 
  • Examples of weather data could include temperature, amount and type of precipitation (e.g., rain, snow), wind direction, and wind speed.
  • Graphical displays should focus on pictographs and bar graphs.
