The weather is the classic go-to conversation starter or when you want to fill an awkward silence. We all do it and are probably quite good at it. However, there is more to talking about the weather than that.
A weather activity with your class is not just something cute to entertain your learners; it is a way to introduce early learners to the concepts of science. As learners progress through school, meteorology is a great way to get them interested in other STEM disciplines.
Weather is observable and measurable. They can see the rain, put a container out to capture it and measure how much has fallen in their area. When they play sport, they can feel how the heat causes their body’s cooling system to kick in. It is science!
Add some of our resources to your lessons on weather and see your students become budding scientists. ????
