This lab is an extension of Weather 1: Eye on the Sky. Students observe and record daily weather conditions for a winter month and continue to learn how to measure the passage of time using a calendar.

Content in this Lesson

  • Reading and writing numbers to 50 [E2].
  • Using a calendar to measure the passage of time.
  • Translating between different representations of numbers (tallies and symbols).
  • Collecting, organizing, graphing, and analyzing data [E10].
  • Making and interpreting bar graphs [E11].
  • Comparing sets of data in which one variable has been changed.
  • Using patterns in data to make predictions and solve problems [E11].
  • Connecting mathematics and science to real-world situations: recording weather data.
  • Choosing tools and finding strategies to solve problems [MPE2].
  • Communicating solution strategies [MPE5].
  • Solving a problem another way to check [MPE4].
