Describe how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) support a scientific or engineering idea.

Communicate information or design ideas and/or solutions with others in oral and/or written forms using models, drawings, writing, or numbers that provide detail about scientific ideas, practices, and/or design ideas.

Children recognize that patterns in the natural and human designed world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.

Weather is the combination of sunlight, wind, snow or rain, and temperature in a particular region and time. People record weather patterns over time.
