In this one time class, the kids will learn about the science of thunderstorms. 

I like to use visual graphics such as slideshows and videos so that the kids are able to see the science concepts they are learning in our class.  I like to ask questions to start class discussions, and I encourage the kids to ask questions and share any knowledge they have about the science concepts in our class because that's how we learn.

In class, the kids will learn:  how thunderstorms form, about cold fronts, and warm fronts, and the different types of thunderstorms.

 PDFs of a blank map of the United States, a Thunderstorms worksheet, and a Type of Thunderstorms worksheet are  in the classroom and can be printed for class.  The kids will also need a pencil with an eraser and colored pencils.
