Weather Review - Presentation

The presentation on weather review is an engaging educational resource that aims to deepen students' understanding of Earth Science, particularly the seasonal changes that occur throughout the year. The presentation poses key questions that encourage students to think about the sequence and characteristics of the seasons, as well as how to match specific months to each season. The content is structured to allow students to reflect on what they already know and to set learning objectives for the session, such as being able to name and order the seasons, describe seasonal events, and associate months with their respective seasons.

As part of the learning experience, students participate in practical investigations, such as measuring rainfall and temperature over the course of a year. They are asked to review data they have collected, analyze it by creating graphs, and answer questions about weather patterns observed during the experiment. Additionally, the presentation includes interactive experiments like creating lightning by generating static electricity with a balloon and a light bulb, which illustrates the principles behind lightning in storms. Students also get hands-on experience by constructing their own anemometers to measure wind speed, learning about the relationship between wind speed and weather phenomena like tornadoes and hurricanes. Finally, the session concludes with a review where students answer questions summarizing their newfound knowledge about the seasons, weather changes, and scientific measurements, ensuring they can confidently discuss and understand weather concepts.
