Weather

=Weather:= __**Kindergarten**__ Goal 2: The learner will make observations and build an understanding of weather concepts. 2.01 Observe and report daily weather changes throughtout the year. 2.02 Identify different weather features including: precipitation, wind,temperature and cloud cover. 2.03 Identify types of precipitation,changes in wind, force, direction and sky conditions. 2.04 Observe and determine the effects of weather on human activities. 2.05 Use common tools to measure weather. Goal 2: The learner will conduct investigations and use appropriate tools to build an understanding of the changes in weather. 2.01 Investigate and describe how moving air interacts with objects.
