State Standards

K-ESS2-1. Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.
K-ESS3-2. Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
3-ESS2-3. Use a model to demonstrate how water, in its different forms, moves through the water cycle. Investigate places where water is found in different forms on Earth.
MS-ESS2-5. Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
