EDUC 522 Lesson Plan: Project 2 Author: Terra Borges Geography Lesson Title: (Climate) Goal

The students will be able to use comprehension strategies to answer and ask questions. The students will be able to observe, measure, and describe weather as a basis for understanding this concept. The students will be able to use tools (weather vane) to measure weather conditions and record changes. The students will understand that climate changes daily but trends make weather predictable in a season.

SL5: Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

Describe how location, weather, and physical environment affect the way people live, including the effects on their food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and recreation.

Earth Science 3.Weather can be observed, measured, and described. a. Students know how to use simple tools (thermometer, wind vane, etc.) to measure weather conditions and record changes from day to day and across the seasons.

Students will then work in groups and use the iPads with the notability app that has a picture of a blank world map on it. The students will then work like meteorologist to predict the weather in the 7 continents that they will label on the map.

Procedure 1. Students will listen to On this day in March by Marilyn Singer e-book on the computer with headphones. 2. The students will use the computer and go on mindmeister.com to create a list or web map of all the different types of weather listed in the book and categorize them by season. 3. Students will then watch a couple of short clips of meteorologists giving weather reports as well as a clip of the types of tools they use to measure and predict weather. 4. Students will get in groups with iPads and use the Notability app to predict the weather in the 7 continents based on the information they learned from watching the meteorologist clips. 5. The students will watch a how to video on constructing a weather vane over the projector in which the students will put their weather vane together will the
