 * Properties of Earth Materials: || Earth Materials are solid rocks and soils, water and the gases of the atmosphere. The varied materials have different physical and chemical properties. Soils have properties of color and textures, capacity to retain water and ability to support the growth of many kinds of plants, including those in our food supply. || Materials from the earth have special qualities that make them useful in different ways. ||  ||

|| The sun provides the light and heat necessary to maintain the temperature of the earth. || Weather affects us. || Abby Brownlee (abrownlee@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ) and Tricia Goodman (tgoodman@fmtabor.k12.ia.us )
 * Daily and seasonal weather conditions || Weather changes from day to day and over the seasons.

|| Scientists in the past and present have helped us better measure and understand the weather. || Before spending time outside, you need to check the weather to dress and act appropriately. || Michelle Griffen (mgriffen@riverside.k12.ia.us): || **The sun can only be seen during our daylight hours. We are unable to see the sun at night because of the rotation of the earth.** || Our world has many repeating patterns. || Rachelle Zenor (rzenor@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ) and Tina Miller (tmiller@fmtabor.k12.ia.us )
 * Understand and apply knowledge of observable information about daily and seasonal weather conditions. || * In Iowa, we need to check the temperature, humidity, cloud cover, wind speed and direction before we go outside. We can get this information from the internet, newspaper, or TV. We can also step outside and uses our senses.
 * Weather can be dangerous and we need to understand where we are in order to understand the forecast or warning. We need to know appropriate actions for different types of weather in Iowa.
 * Other places on Earth experience different kinds of weather conditions than Iowa. Other places also experience different types of dangerous weather conditions.
 * We can experience different types of weather depending on the season.
 * **Events that have repeating patterns** || **Seasons of the year, day and night are events that are repeated in regular patterns.**
