S1E2. Students will observe and record changes in water as it relates to weather.
a. Recognize changes in water when it freezes (ice) and when it melts (water).
b. Identify forms of precipitation such as rain, snow, sleet, and hailstones as either solid (ice) or liquid (water).
c. Determine that the weight of water before freezing, after freezing, and after melting stays the same.
d. Determine that water in an open container disappears into the air over time, but water in a closed container does not.

Animoto would be a fun and creative tool to show the changes in water as it relates to weather. The teacher and students could take pictures as they do an experiment to ice and water and then turn it into a video to watch. They could also include pictures of different types of weather and precipitation that relate to the stages of water. The video could help to review, or to "put it all together" so students understand the information better.

Weebly is a place where students and teachers could create a blog. An idea to use this along with the standard would be to use the blog as a type of journal to record different types of precipitation. The students could be weather forecasters and add their thoughts to the class blog. The blog could also be used to record what happened during experiments with ice and water as well as evaporation.
