The main lesson addresses these academic content standards:
DCCS4
Earth and Space Sciences, Content Standard 4: Observe, investigate, describe and explain the properties structure, and origin of the earth system, the solar systeam and the universe. Grade 6: The student uses knowledge of the Earth's rotation and the size and shape of angles formed by its tilting axis to explain the seasons and weather patterns. The student explains how the misuse of natural resources affects the quality of life for all species and develops a list of ways people can reuse, recycle and reduce the use of resources to improve and protect the quality of life (water, air, soil, trees).

Earth and Space Sciences, Content Standard 4: Observe, investigate, describe and explain the properties, structure and origin of the earth system, the solar system and the universe. The student
*collects weather information during different types of weather to determine the relationship between air temperature and fog, snow, hail, etc.;
*constructs weather instruments and a weather station. Gathers data and compares weather and its effects on areas in different parts of the country.
By the end of grade 3, the student will observe and keep daily records of weather and seasons to know that some events in nature have a repeating pattern. By the end of grade 5, the student will determine effects of weather to know waves, wind, water, and ice shape and reshape the earth's land surface by eroding rock and soil in some areas and depositing them in other areas, sometimes in seasonal layers.

MD2.0
Earth Science (2.0): Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the chemical and physical interactions (i.e., natural forces and cycles, transfer of energy) of the environment, Earth, and the universe that occur over time.
Interactions of Hydrosphere and Atomosphere. By the end of grade 3, students will describe weather using observations, age appropriate tools (i.e., thermometers) and measurements, and predict weather patterns for each season. By the end of grade 5, students use weather measurements (e.g., temperature, wind direction and speed, and precipitation) to explain that each season has different weather patterns. By the end of grade 8, students analyze Earth (i.e., land and water) data collected from space-based instruments and relate it to weather patterns. Describe and model large-scale and local weather systems.
Materials and Processes That Shape a Planet. By the end of grade 8, students explain that some changes in a planet's surface are due to slow processes (i.e., landslides, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, flooding and tsunamis).
VA 4.6
Science
Grade 4:4.6, The student will investigate and understand how weather conditions and phenomena occur and can be predicted. Key concepts include:
*weather factors (temperature, air pressure, fronts, formation and type of clouds, and storms); and
*meteorological tools (barometer, hygrometer, anemometer, rain guage, and thermometer).
Earth Science, Standard 3: The student will investigate and understand how to read and interpret maps, globes, models, charts and imagery. Key concepts include:
*maps (bathymetric, geologic, topographic and weather) and star charts.
Earth Science, Standard 13: The student will investigate and understand that energy transfer between the sun, Earth and the Earth's atmosphere drives weather and climate on Earth. Key concepts include:
*observation and collection of weather data;
*prediction of weather patterns; and
*weather phenomena and the factors that affect climate.
