The Weather - Presentation

The Weather presentation is an interactive and educational experience for learners to explore different aspects of meteorology and understand how weather affects our daily lives. The session begins with thought-provoking questions such as whether one can name various types of weather, explain how to stay dry, and predict weather patterns in different locations. The lesson aims to teach about seasonal changes and how to observe and describe the weather accurately. An engaging 'How's the Weather Song' helps to introduce different weather conditions, encouraging students to identify and discuss them further.

Students are invited to participate in hands-on activities that illustrate weather concepts. For instance, they create a rain simulation using a clear cup, water, shaving foam, and food colouring to understand how rain forms from clouds. Another practical experiment involves testing different materials to determine which would make the best raincoat, teaching about waterproof and absorbent properties. Additionally, the presentation includes a 'Making Snow' activity where learners can witness the impressive water-absorbing capabilities of a substance called Magic Snow. These activities are designed to solidify the students' understanding of weather phenomena and the science behind them. The lesson concludes with a reflection on what has been learned, ensuring that students can confidently talk about weather types, protective clothing, and weather predictions.
