Weather & Seasons

This unit is prepared for students in grades kindergarten through third grade. Students will be given an opportunity to explore weather conditions, seasonal changes in the weather where they live, and safety during various weather conditions. Students will learn that weather changes from day to day. They will learn about the factors that affect weather; factors like temperature, wind precipitation and clouds. They will learn about the four seasons and the types of weather within each.

Students will be encouraged to use expository writing, poetry, art, and music to show how the concepts covered in the unit can be illustrated through creative expression.
