GRADE 5 - Weather (DIST Kit)

 

Weather is a 16-lesson unit developed to build on children’s observational capabilities by introducing them gradually to specific weather features. As these features are presented, students discover that their own powers of observation can be extended by using tools of science – for example, the thermometer. Developing new skills such as reading the thermometer also leads them to explore some practical facets of weather as it affects their daily lives.
