FOSS AND CALIFORNIA STANDARDS
The Air and Weather Module supports the following Physical and
Earth Sciences Content Standards for grade 1.*
PHYSICAL SCIENCES
PS1. Materials come in different forms (states), including solids,
liquids, and gases.
As a basis for understanding this concept, students know
PS1a. solids, liquids, and gases have different properties.
EARTH SCIENCES
ES3. Weather can be observed, measured, and described.
As a basis for understanding this concept, students know
ES3a. how to use simple tools (e.g., thermometer, wind vane)
to measure weather conditions and record changes from
day to day and across the seasons.
ES3b. that the weather changes from day to day but that
trends in temperature or of rain (or snow) tend to be
predictable during a season.
ES3c. the Sun warms the land, air, and water.
The Air and Weather Module supports the following Investigation
and Experimentation Content Standards for grade 1.*
INVESTIGATION AND EXPERIMENTATION
I&E4. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions
and conducting careful investigations.
As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content
in the other three strands, students should develop their own
questions and perform investigations. Students will
I&E4a. draw pictures that portray some features of the thing
being described.
I&E4b. record observations and data with pictures, numbers, or
written statements.
I&E4c. record observations on a bar graph.
I&E4d. describe the relative position of objects by using two
references (e.g., above and next to, below and left of).
I&E4e. make new observations when discrepancies exist
between two descriptions of the same object or
phenomenon.

through Grade Twelve (Sacramento: California Department of
Education, 2000).
