This Week : We continued to explore the water cycle and Earth's patterns as a whole. Students learned the terms humidity, water vapor, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and rehearsed our water cycle song!

Next Week : We will extend our water cycle expertise to discuss the difference between weather and climate. We will make a climate graph comparing the average monthly temperature and precipitation and discuss the importance of mapping weather patterns over time. Weather is a daily occurence, while climate is a measure of the typical weather patterns an area experiences over time.
