This week we are finishing up Chapter 6 Water Cycle and Weather. It has been a perfect week to learn about weather with all of our crazy weather we have been having!! Today we kicked class off with our new notebook page 61 where we labeled the weather map symbols, and we predicted the weather from our symbols on the map!!
Students have homework this week — and it is located on notebook page 60. It is part of their Science Notebook for Chapter 6, and it will count as a notebook page. Students are to watch or look up the weather. There are lots of ways to accomplish this — a weather forecast on TV, a weather app (my personal FAVE is The Weather Channel app – it is FREE!), an internet weather site, radio, newspaper weather forecast, etc. Students are to date the page when they do the assignment, record the type of media (TV, Internet, etc.), and record any symbols they saw or heard on the forecast. For extra credit, students may send me a picture of them looking at the weather forecast OR bring it in. This is not mandatory, but I thought it may be FUN!! 🙂 This assignment is due on Tuesday, December 17th. I am including a picture of me checking the weather on the Internet as an example 🙂
