Essential Concepts:
- What is Weather? The condition of the atmosphere at a specific time and place.
- Weather Patterns: The predictable changes in weather over time (e.g., day/night, rain/sun).
- Elements of Weather: Key factors that describe the weather, such as temperature, precipitation, wind, and clouds.
Sensory Activities:
- Sensory Bins: Create sensory bins filled with materials that represent weather elements (e.g., water beads for rain, cotton balls for clouds).
- Weather Charts: Track the weather daily by having children observe and graph the temperature, precipitation, and wind.
- Weather Walk: Take a walk outside to observe weather elements firsthand. Point out different clouds, wind direction, and any precipitation occurring.
Vocabulary Building:
- Sunny: When the sun is shining and there are no clouds.
- Rainy: When water droplets fall from the sky.
- Windy: When the wind is blowing strongly.
- Humid: When the air is filled with moisture, making it feel heavy.
- Foggy: When a thick layer of water droplets forms in the air close to the ground.
Songs and Games:
- "If You See a Puddle Jump In It" (song about rain)
- "Rain, Rain, Go Away" (song about rain)
- Weather Bingo: Create bingo cards with weather elements and have children mark off the ones they experience.
- Windy Day Scavenger Hunt: Have children search for items that move in the wind (e.g., leaves, trash).
Simple Crafts:
- Cloud Painting: Dip cotton balls or sponges in paint and create cloud designs on paper.
- Windsock Craft: Decorate a paper bag or stocking and add strings to create a windsock.
- Rain Drop Paper Plate Craft: Paint a paper plate blue and glue on cut-out rain drops.
