Capstone 1-7 Lesson using Thinkfinity for a weather lesson

A common lesson in many of our self contained classroom relates to weather.  Students can work in the group on identifying picture from the Unique curriculum to determine what season is represented by the clothing.

ES.E.2 Weather- Weather changes from day
 to day and over the seasons.
E.ES.01.21 Compare daily changes in the
 weather related to temperature (cold, hot,
 warm, cool); cloud cover (cloudy, partly
 cloudy, foggy); precipitation (rain, snow,
hail, freezing rain); wind (breezy, windy, calm).
E.ES.01.22 Describe and compare weather
 related to the four seasons in terms of
 temperature, cloud cover, precipitation
, and wind.
E.ES.01.23 Describe severe weather
characteristics. *
E.ES.01.24 Describe precautions that should
 be taken for human safety during severe
 weather conditions (thunder and lightning,
tornadoes, strong winds, heavy precipitation).

Students can work in the group on identifying picture from the Unique curriculum to determine what season is represented by the clothing. Then  go to the Thinkfinity website, click on Classroom, go to K-2 science, then weather and there is a link to a really cool lesson plan with lost of activities.  One activity is at this link where students can see what clothing items go with different types of weather. They can then sort the picture by types of weather or body part.
