They observe and describe wind using pinwheels, an anemometer, and a wind scale. They observe bubbles and construct wind vanes to find the wind’s direction. Flying kites, they feel the strength of the wind and the direction it is moving. Disciplinary Core Idea S & E Practice CC Concept ESS2.D: Weather and Climate Weather is the combination of sunlight, wind, snow or rain, and temperature in a particular region at a particular time. People measure these conditions to describe and record the weather and to notice patterns over time. (K-ESS2-1) Analyzing and Interpreting Data Analyzing data in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to collecting, recording, and sharing observations. Use observations (firsthand or from to describe patterns in the natural world in order to answer scientific questions. Patterns Patterns in the natural world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.
