After learning a simplified formula for converting degrees Celsius into Fahrenheit and vice versa - students predict the number for degrees Fahrenheit before actual reading off classroom thermometer. At the end of the month students convert temperature data into a graph and calculate the average daily temperature for the month. Students compare highs and lows for each country and explain differences by locating cities on world map and contrast their latitudes. Pairs of students create dialogues between TV anchor and meteorologist including humorous comments. The students playing anchor and meteorologist summarize and explain weather findings using a large graph and world map.
Students create commercials to be included during mock broadcast.
Students create video blurbs with the weather, like those that come between commercials. Students keep track of temperatures and weather in a number of locations around the world and compare those with the weather where they live. All Rights Reserved.
