Sunlight and Weather

Sunlight and Weather

Grade K - Weather and Climate

In this Storyline, students develop an understanding of the warming effect sunlight has on materials at Earth's surface and then design structures to reduce that effect on objects. They observe and analyze patterns in weather data over time and also learn about several types of severe weather, its effects, and where it is most likely to happen. Finally, students discuss how people rely on weather forecasts and warnings to prepare for and stay safe during severe weather.
