Weather, Climate, and Natural Hazards

3rd Grade - Earth Science - NGSS

Students explore weather in different parts of the world on the same day and at different times of the year. They collect and analyze data to use patterns to predict future weather events and seasons.

Anchor Phenomenon: The weather differs on the same day, at the same time of day, at different locations around the world.

Driving Question: Why do weather conditions differ on the same day in different regions of the world?

Engineering Design Challenge: Develop a model to reduce the impact of a weather related event on human-made or natural structures.
