Fall is Here!

Fall is here!



 

 

 

Graham and I have been loving this pretty fall weather.  Stroller rides are one of his most favorite thing.  I've also been moving his swing outside to soak up as much of this awesome weather as possible. 

Incorporating a daily weather chart is an easy, but important way to get your students thinking about earth science and the weather and climate.  Here are some cute, simple ideas that could be filled with a students' daily role.  

Weather Chart - would be cute to have a month calander to put weather stickers on each day and count/graph how many days were sunny, cloudy, etc


SC.2.P.8.5 (2nd grade)-Measure and compare temperatures taken every day at the same time.  This is another FREE weather and temperature bar graphs that I can print out for students to record their daily weather observations over the course of a month.
This activity would be a simple, yet engaging, way for students to share their own ideas about weather. Together, the whole class would brainstorm common weather terms and put them on display for the rest of the seasonal weather unit.
There are also lots of fun weather science experiments that can be done in the classroom, like the rain experiment found here
