Young children are typically curious and ask endless questions about their world and how it works.
Their curiosity about weather may lead them to ask specific questions, but more often it may show itself in other ways. Think, for example, of a young child playing in the snow. In whatever form the curiosity is expressed, the child is clearly seeking information. The Weather unit was designed to draw upon and expand this natural curiosity and enthusiasm for finding out about weather. In doing so, it also provides a comfortable introduction to what may be students' first experience with the study of science.
