Weather Monitoring Brainstorming ideas

Good Evening, The ide that I would like to propose is a weather newscast. Feel free to add or take away as you please. Students will: Predict the next day's weather and actually chart the temperature for each day. Students will: Look at previous year and compare to the present in order to make a graph. Students will: Use a radar map to determine what the next day's weather will be. Students will: generate real questions about the weather based on observation and previous weather. Students will: Manipulate simple devices and explain how they work. (Temperature Thermometer) Students will: Develop strategies and skills for information gathering and problem solving. ( Tools: Sources of information, such as reference books, trade books, periodicals. Real-world contexts: Seeking help from peers, adults, libraries, other resources.) Students will: Construct charts and graphs and prepare summaries of observations. ( Key concepts: Increase, decrease, steady. Tools: Graph paper, rulers, crayons. Real-world contexts : Examples of simple charts and graphs like those found in a newspaper.)
