Students will participate in discussions and experiments to study temperature, seasons, water vapor, humidity, air pressure, clouds and precipitation, and pollution. I felt our Science books were lacking substance. I wanted to add engaging activities to the unit. Some topics in weather are very abstract and difficult to understand unless you have hands-on experience. I want my students to develop a better understanding of the factors of weather.
Weather is a result of factors working together or against one another.
I want them to be able to use technology to obtain data and present their results. The students will also present their information to other students from other schools. I want the students to gain an understanding of weather. I want the students to develop an interest in weather and data collecting tools. I also want them to present what they learned using Kids Pix or Power Point and share it with students from other schools.
