•One can make simple predictions in weather patterns. On a
cloudy, warm day, it may rain. On a cloudy day that is very
cold, it may snow. On a clear day there most likely will be
no rain or snow.
• As animals and plants grow, they get larger according to a
pattern.
• Natural objects such as leaves, seeds, and cones have
patterns we can see.
• Home and school routines frequently follow a pattern.

•The sun is the source of light on Earth.
• The sun provides heat, which warms the land, air, and water
on Earth.
• The rotation of Earth means that Earth turns once a day.
The
part of Earth facing the sun has daytime and the part not
facing the sun has nighttime.
• Rotation of the Earth causes day and night

• Living things respond to weather and seasonal changes. This can be reflected in
changes in growth and behavior.
• Adverse conditions of weather may slow the growth and animals (dormancy), whereas
optimal weather conditions may accelerate the growth and development of plants and
animals.
• Many trees produce new leaves in the spring and lose them
development of plants and in the fall due to seasonal changes in temperature and light.
• The outward coloration and coloration patterns of many animals are similar in
appearance to the plants in the places in which they live. This similarity to background is
referred
to as camouflage, and it enables animals to hide and avoid
those that may eat or harm them.
• Some animals travel from one place to another and back again (migration) or go into a
deep sleep (hibernation) due to seasonal changes.
• Some animals (geese, monarch butterflies) migrate. Some animals (bears, groundhogs)
hibernate. Some animals undergo physical changes (thickening of dog fur in the
winter and shedding in the summer) from season to season.

•The
pattern of day and night is caused by the rotation of the
Earth. One complete rotation occurs every 24 hours. The
part of the Earth toward the sun has daylight while the part
of the Earth away from the sun has night.
• The pattern of seasonal changes takes place because the
Earth’s axis is tilted toward or away from the sun during its
revolution around the sun. The Earth takes 365 days, or one
year, to make one revolution.
