Disciplinary Core Idea
ESS2: Earth's Systems

Weather is a big part of our daily lives, and can tell us a lot about the surrounding world. In this activity, we’ll try to answer 2 big questions: “What is the weather?” and “How do we know this?” Students will use their 5 senses and other scientific tools to quantify and qualify the weather and how it changes to answer these questions!

Interdisciplinary with Mathematics.
