2-Earth+Systems,+Structures+&+Processes

2.E.1.1 Summarize how energy from the sun serves as a source of light that warms the land, air and water. 2.E.1.2 Summarize weather conditions using qualitative and quantitative measures to describe: • Temperature • Wind direction • Wind speed • Precipitation 2.E.1.3 Compare weather patterns that occur over time and relate observable patterns to time of day and time of year. 2.E.1.4 Recognize the tools that scientists use for observing, recording, and predicting weather changes from day to day and during the seasons. || ===‍‍‍Literacy Standard**/Mathematical Practice**===

‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**

 * 1. I can discuss how solar energy from the sun warms (is absorbed) by land, water, and air.**
 * 2. I can use numbers to represent air tempertaure, wind speed, and precipitation.**
 * 3. I can use my cardinal directions to describe types of weather tools and how they are used.**
 * 4. I can distinguish the different types of weather tools and how they are used.**
 * 5. I can tell the names of the seasons and weather patterns that are associated with each.**
 * 6. I can understand the differences with the changes that occur with our daily weather.**
 * 7. I can identify manual and electronic weather instruments, sensors, and computers to collect, record, and analyaze data.**
