Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.
Generate resourceEngage in argument from evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.
Generate resourceUse a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live.
Generate resourceAsk questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
Generate resourceCommunicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.
Generate resourceDescribe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.
Generate resourcePlan and carry out an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.
