Unit: Earth & the
Solar System
- Earth Science
Anmerkungen:
- S4E4. Students will analyze weather charts/maps and collect weather data to predict weather
events and infer patterns and seasonal changes.
a. Identify weather instruments and explain how each is used in gathering weather data
and making forecasts (thermometer, rain gauge, barometer, wind vane, anemometer).
b. Using a weather map, identify the fronts, temperature, and precipitation and use the
information to interpret the weather conditions.
c. Use observations and records of weather conditions to predict weather patterns
throughout the year.
d. Differentiate between weather and climate

Anmerkungen:
- MCC4.NF.2 Compare two fractions with different
numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2.
Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
