Prescribed Learning Outcome
measure weather in terms of temperature, precipitation, cloud cover,
wind speed and direction
analyse impacts of weather on living and non-living things
The surface of the planet Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air called
the atmosphere
Most of the Earth’s surface is covered by water and circulates
through the water cycle
The Earth’s surface is heated by energy from the Sun
Weather conditions that can be observed and/or measured include temperature,
wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, air pressure, and cloud formations
Weather conditions affect living things (e.g., growth, behaviour, food,
shelter)
Weather conditions (e.g., erosion) affect non-living things
Skills and Attitudes
Observe weather conditions and record using graphs, tables, and charts
Interpret data from recorded observations
