Weather

1. My learning performance will show that the students understand the changing weather conditions from day to day by recording it. They will note changes in weather such as temperature, sunny, humid, cloudy, etc. To take the learning performance to the next step they can try to predict what tomorrows weather will be like based on their knowledge and prior recordings.

2. My learning performance contains all 5 features of inquiry. The students will be engaged because they will be asked to figure out the change in weather. The students will be collecting evidence through their daily weather log. We will explain as a class and in small groups about the weather conditions that everyone has gathered on their own. Then we will evaluate those data findings with other sources such as the internet. After we evaluate the students will communicate with other people outside our class community to see what others think about weather.

Standard/Benchmark	Learning Goals	Formative Assessment	Learning Performances
Content Standard: K-4 Earth and Space Science Content standard: D Changes in Earth and Sky Benchmark: Weather changes from day to day and over the seasons.	Understand the different weather conditions from day to day and that sunny doesn’t always mean warm.	Based on the formative assessment question people had a misunderstanding about the weather changes. They based their assumptions off personal understandings.	Go out and record the weather for a week and notice the different weather conditions. Draw pictures and use descriptive language to ensure great detail.
