Create a brainstorm chart of
weather words. This will also be
displayed in the room
throughout the unit. Add to it
frequently.
TTW use the SMART lesson
“Weather Terminology” to
introduce the 4 new weather
words for the week.
TTW use the powerpoint
“Weather conditions and Tools”
to teach all essential
information and show
illustrations and photographs of
weather, as outlined in the
essential information of the
support document.
Afterwards, TSW respond in their
science journals.
2-3.2 Recall weather terminology
(including temperature, wind direction,
wind speed, and precipitation as rain,
snow, sleet, and hail).
2-3.4 Carry out procedures to measure
and record daily weather conditions
(including temperature, precipitation
amounts, wind speed as measured on
the Beaufort scale, and wind direction
as measured with a windsock or wind
vane).
**Meteorologist Visit**
TCW watch the Magic
School Bus video, “MSB Kicks
Up a Storm.”
Time allowing, TSW write
about the video in their
science journals.
TCW play a matching game on
the SMART board to match the
definitions to the terminology.
Watch “Weather: A First Look”.
(17 minutes)
After watching, add any new
words to the chart of weather
words. Use a different color
marker.
