Explore weather conditions!
Your little weather watchers can make these weather charts to map out the current weather conditions. Simple enough for their little hands, all it takes is a paper plate and some die cut foam shapes. Add a clothespin arrow and they’re ready to predict the weather!
Literacy Connection: A seemingly simple weather chart can be a valuable way for children to practice complex skills like understanding the science process, expanding communication skills, and taking part in protecting the environment.
Little scientists can use their natural curiosity to observe the clouds and have a conversation about how they are made of water droplets that are collected from the earth because of the sun. Understanding the water cycle is a great way to introduce the idea of protecting the earth’s water resources!
You can even extend the activity with math and literacy skills by working together to create a simple graph and explaining the word “data”.
