This unit introduces
young children to
the concept of weather and how it affects their lives. Using a
variety of tools, students observe, discuss, measure, and record
data on cloud cover, precipitation, wind, and temperature. They
learn how to read a thermometer and construct a rain gauge to
measure precipitation. They also study cloud formations and use a
wind scale to estimate the speed of wind. To apply their new skills
and knowledge, students compare their own weather predictions with
an actual weather forecast and use the weather data they have
collected to form generalizations about the weather in their own
locale.
