among objects in the sky. The Move from patterns among objects in the sky to Earth, Moon and Sun system Add use of weather maps, symbols, and key to make predictions Add describe and illustrate continuous movement of water above and on the surface of the Earth through water cycle Add explain role of the sun as a major source of energy in water cycle Drop observe and compare Add differentiate between weather and climate Add ocean s interaction to the water cycle Drop measure and record 50
