patterns in the natural world in
order to answer questions.
➔ Prior experiences and progresses
to collecting, recording, and
sharing observations.
➔ Pattern recognition
➔ Temperatures in certain regions
of the world.
Example(s):
Activities:
- Create a daily temperature pattern graphic organizer.
- Use monthly weather patterns to determine climate.

observations of local
weather conditions to
describe patterns
over time.

research and writing
projects
Technology Connection:

representations and models
using multimedia tools.
