Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards
ESS2.C: The Roles of Water in Earth’s Surface Processes - Water is found in the ocean, rivers, lakes, and ponds. Water exists as solid ice and in liquid form (2-ESS2-3).
Performance Expectations:
2-ESS2-3 Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid.
Third Grade Next Generation Science Standards
Disciplinary Core Ideas:
ESS2.D: Weather and Climate - Scientists record patterns of the weather across different times and areas so that they can make predictions about what kind of weather might happen next (3-ESS2-1).
Climate describes a range of an area's typical weather conditions and the extent to which those conditions vary over years (3-ESS2-2).
Performance Expectations:
3-ESS2-1 Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season
