Hello everyone,
Over the last two weeks, students have been learning about ALL things weather! They have learned about air pressure, wind, air masses, fronts, clouds, precipitation, weather maps, and symbols. It has been slightly fast pace as we move through these topics that students have begun incorporating into their daily "Watching the Weather" observations.
THIS FRIDAY: Next accountability check for weather observations.
NEXT TUESDAY: Last accountability check before our classroom discussion on Wednesday, February 15th.
This week, we have been covering Severe Weather and students started working on a Weather Preparedness Public Service Announcement (PSA) project.
Next week, students will be presenting their 3 min presentations on Monday and Tuesday. Students have the option of creating a video, podcast, brochure, or slide presentation on 5 different types of severe weather. They could choose tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, floods, or droughts.
I'm very excited to see what students come up with! Below is a video of one of the PSA's my students created last year. This one was fun and very creative.
After next week, we will have a week learning about Climate. Topics include Weather Vs. Climate, Climate Zones, Climate Change, Greenhouse Effect, Global Warming, etc. We will have a week of review and a Weather and Climate Unit test following that.
When the unit is over, we will be watching a documentary and then having a classroom debate. It should be a fun project before we move into Astronomy.
As always, if there are any questions you can email me at curtis_silverwood@conestogavalley.org
Thank you,
Mr. Silverwood
