Earth's Systems

ESS.2.1 Understand patterns of weather and factors that affect weather.
- ESS.2.1.1 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to summarize how energy from the sun serves as a source of light and warms the land, air, and water.
  - Investigate sunlight and shade (2)
- ESS.2.1.2 Use mathematics and computational thinking to summarize weather conditions (temperature, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation).
  - Read a thermometer (2-P.6)
- ESS.2.1.3 Carry out investigations to collect data and compare weather patterns that occur over time and relate observable patterns to time of day and time of year.
- ESS.2.1.4 Obtain, evaluate and communicate information to recognize the tools scientists use for observing, recording, and predicting weather changes from day to day and during the season.
  - Severe weather: blizzards (2-P.3)
  - Compare temperatures on thermometers (2-P.7)
