SCI-00.ESS2.01 Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.Clarification Statement: Examples of qualitative observations could include descriptions of the weather (such as sunny, cloudy,
rainy, and warm); examples of quantitative observations could include numbers of sunny, windy, and rainy

SCI-00.ESS3.01
SCI-00.ESS3.01 Represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live using a model.Clarification Statement: Examples of relationships could include that deer eat buds and leaves, therefore, they usually live in
forested areas; and, grasses need sunlight so they often grow in meadows. Plants, animals, and their
surroundings make up a system.
