In this unit, Kindergarten students will observe and analyze weather such as: precipitation, wind, temperature, and climate change. They will then utilize this information to make hypothesis and draw conclusions to describe and predict weather patterns. Students will use realistic materials and resources to predict the weather for seasons such as: spring, summer, winter and fall.

For visual learners this may be challenging as well as kinesthetic10 learners who need to move. Teachers can accommodate these students by doing fun interactive weather games based on the weather of the day.

This allows students to visually see and then on the instructional side match the photo to their description, so a picture with a name. This allows students to get hands on experience. Teachers can reach students by also using technology websites or stimulation games. This gives students to see weather in di erent parts of the world and compare to their region and the di erences such as temperatures and what that tells them about a certain region whether cold or hot or etc. Weather is important for students to learn because it assists with the understanding of some events in nature that may repeat itself in their daily lives. By learning weather, they are able to get the fundamental building blocks of what they see daily and how that impacts the world. Students will participate in hands-on activities, and group work. These learning experiences will assist students as they come to understand the di erent dynamics of weather and how they experience weather in their everyday life.
