The student is expected to describe and predict the patterns of seasons of the year such as order of occurrence and changes in nature.
A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
observe and describe weather changes from day to day and over seasons; and
describe and predict the patterns of seasons of the year such as order of occurrence and changes in nature.
collect and analyze data to identify sequences and predict patterns of change in seasons such as change in temperature and length of daylight; and
Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Seasons occur in a cyclical pattern: spring, summer, fall, and winter. One observable pattern of change in plants across seasons is leaves sprouting, growing, changing color, and falling.
