EARTH and SPACE SCIENCES |
|
|
|
|
-Explain that air surrounds us, takes up space, moves around us as wind, and may be measured using barometric pressure. |
|
|
|
|
-Describe evidence of changes on Earth's surface in terms of slow processes (e.g., erosion, weathering, mountain building and deposition) and rapid processes (e.g. volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and landslides). |
|
|
|
|
-Identify how water exists in the air in different forms (e.g., in clouds, fog, rain, snow and hail). |
|
|
|
|
-Investigate how water changes from one state to another (e.g., freezing, melting, condensation and evaporation). |
|
|
|
|
-Describe weather by measurable quantities such as temperature, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation and barometric pressure. |
|
|
|
|
-Record local weather information on a calendar or map and describe changes over a period of time (e.g., barometric pressure, temperature, precipitation symbols and cloud conditions). |
|
|
|
|
-Trace how weather patterns generally move from west to east in the United States. |
|
|
|
|
-Describe the weather which accompanies cumulus, cumulonimbus, cirrus and stratus clouds. |
