The weather affects our lives everyday! Learning about the weather is a great way to get kids interested in nature and science. In this 4 week class, the kids will be learn about Earth's atmosphere and how it affects Earth's weather. I encourage the kids to ask questions about the class topics because that is one way we learn. During our class discussions, the kids will be able to interact with each other and me by asking questions and sharing any knowledge they have about the class topic. They may also use the zoom chat to ask questions and share. I use visual graphics such as photos and videos in class so that the kids are able to see the concepts we are studying. A pdf of the supplies and class worksheets will be in the classroom so that they can be printed for class. If you have any questions about the class, please send me a message. ****All learners must be enrolled in the class to be fair to the other enrolled learners.**** Class Meeting 1: Earth's atmosphere Composition Layers of the atmosphere Class Meeting 2 Water in the Atmosphere Hydrologic Cycle Water Vapor Cloud Formation Cloud Classification Cloud Composition Class Meeting 3 Observations Meteorological Observations Sundogs Green Flash Rainbows Class Meeting 4 Wind Basics What is wind?
