Clarification Statement - S.K.ESS.3.2.CS:
Emphasis is on local forms of severe weather and local resources available for preparedness measures.

Science and Engineering Practices - PK2.SEP1.1:
Ask questions based on observations to find more information about the designed world.

Science and Engineering Practices - PK2.SEP8.2:
Read grade-appropriate texts and/or use media to obtain scientific information to describe patterns in the natural world.

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.K.ESS.3.2.DCI:
ESS3.B: Natural Hazards •Some kinds of severe weather are more likely than others in a given region. Weather scientists forecast severe weather so that the communities can prepare for and respond to these events. ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem •Asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems. (secondary to K-ESS3-2)

Crosscutting Concepts - CC2.2:
Events have causes that generate observable patterns.
