(2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6) 2nd grade science Day to day and over the seasons, observe, measure, record and recognize patterns and ask questions about features of weather

I chose this site because it had great explinations of the weather. You can create many different activities to demonste understanding of weather. One thing I would do it first teach the students the aspests of weather and the differences in lengths of daylight in difference seasons. Then , we would all together do an activity to determine the difference in Earth's titls and how it affects weather during different seasons. Extensions: you can extend this activity for younger students by creating a chart to graph the different seasons and what the weather looks like in those seasons, then you can demonstrate the earths tilt with a globe and have the students guess which season they think our state would be in depending on Earth's tilt. Adaptions: I would suggest using illustrations to explain vocabulary, they can make a vocabulary journal.

This would be a fun activity for 6th grade Earth Science

Adaptions: for ELL and special need students explain what the items represent by also showing them a picture of the real item when explaining the materials and what they represent. Extensions: you can extend this activity to younger grades by having kindergartners and 1st graders use cookie cutters instead of straws, they may not have the fine motor skills developed yet to use the straw.
