4.8A: Measure and record changes in weather and make predictions using weather maps, weather symbols, and a map key.
5.8A: Differentiate between weather and climate.
6.9A: Investigate methods of thermal energy transfer including conduction, convection, and radiation.
6.9B: Verify through investigations that thermal energy moves in a predictable pattern from warmer to cooler until all the substances attain the same temperature such as an ice cube melting.
