Content Standard: K-4 Earth and Space Science Content Standard: D
Changes in Earth and Sky Benchmark: Weather from day to day changes and over
the seasons
|
-The changes in weather from day to day can be forecasted by air
pressure.
|
Only 11% of the students got the correct answer of D. more
information is needed. Students may
have choose their answer due to personal experiences rather than their
knowledge of weather.
|
-Build a simple barometer to measure air pressure, then forecast the
weather by using the air pressure.

1.
Explain how the learning performance you chose
would help you understand what students know about the standard you
identified (learning goals: what
students should know)
a.
The lesson teaches students why the weather
changes and how they can forecast then by using air pressure as a measurement.
2.
Explain how your Learning Performance contains
all five features of inquiry.
a.
They are engaged by being asked questions like:
i.
• How do we know whether tomorrow will be a
rainy or a sunny day?
ii.
• What are the different ways to find that out?
iii.
• How do meteorologists predict weather
conditions
b.
They give priority to evidence, by first taking
the air pressure for a week before weather forecasting so they know they are doing
it correctly and then the next week can form their predictions
c.
The second week of the experiment they use their
evidence about air pressure to make explanations for forecasting the weather.
d.
Students are evaluating their explanations by
comparing to the other students in the classroom.
e.
After they evaluate they communicate to justify
their conclusions on predicting the weather.
