Seasons have particular weather condition patterns that can be observed, described, and predicted.

• Analyze and interpret data to make sense of phenomena, using logical reasoning, mathematics, and/or computation.

• Use data to evaluate and refine design solutions.

• Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered.

• Evaluate appropriate methods and/or tools for collecting data.

• Make observations and/or measurements to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon or test a design solution.

• Students identify similarities and differences in order to sort and classify natural objects and designed products. They identify patterns related to time, including simple rates of change and cycles, and to use these patterns to make predictions.

• Climate describes patterns of typical weather conditions over different scales and variations. Historical weather patterns can be analyzed.
