    Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):

    • K-PS3-1: Weather and Climate
      Through hands-on experiments, such as exploring the effects of sunlight on different surfaces, children learn how sunlight warms Earth's surface. These activities foster an understanding of energy transfer and its impact on our environment.
    • K-PS3-2: Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.
    • K-ESS2-1: Earth's Systems
      Children engage in observing and discussing local weather conditions, identifying patterns over time. Activities like daily weather charts and interactive discussions help them describe phenomena such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, or windy days.
