Aprendamos sobre el clima
En esta clase de seis semanas, los estudiantes aprenderán las condiciones bajo las cuales se produce el clima, construirán sus propias herramientas para medir las condiciones climáticas en sus áreas y comprenderán cómo los meteorólogos usan esta información para hacer predicciones.

In this class, students will explore different aspects of weather - what causes it, how the location of a place influences the type of weather that occurs, and how meteorologists monitor and predict the weather. They will make their own weather instruments, keep a weather journal, learn how to use the National Weather Service site to compare weather around the world, and read weather maps. They will create their own real time weather map. By comparing the data they gather in their weather journals, they will look for patterns that meteorologists use to predict the weather. After receiving a personal welcome message when they begin, students are encouraged to communicate weekly with the teacher with any questions, discoveries, or pictures of projects. Teacher response time is 24 hours or less.

más de 6 semanasLección 1:
The Sun and the Water Cycle
Students will explore how the Sun influences the weather through the water cycle. They will make a water cycle model with common household materials. They will also begin a weather journal, which they will keep throughout the class, and analyze patterns based on what they are learning each week. 5 minutos de lecciones en video
Lección 2:
What is Precipitation?
This week, students will explore the different forms of precipitation and what conditions cause each of them to occur. They will make a rain gauge (or snow gauge depending on season) to monitor precipitation at their home, and continue their weather journals. Lección 3:
How Does the Sun Cause Wind?
Week three will focus on how the Sun causes wind through heating and cooling of the atmosphere. Students will make wind vanes and anemometers to measure wind in their area, and explore live weather data from the National Weather Service. Lección 4:
How Does Humidity Affect Us?
This week students will learn what humidity is and how it affects the weather around us. They will make a hygrometer and learn to predict how the air "feels" when humidity is low or high. Otros detalles
Orientación para padres
All lessons will be delivered through NearPod. Teacher created videos and pre-screened YouTube videos will enforce concepts. Assessment will be provided through the use of games such as Kahoot and Gimkit. Students will also explore teacher screened websites on the Symbaloo platform. All sites have been verified and do not require data gathering.

I have been sharing my love of science and math and STEM with elementary students in public schools for over 28 years. I served most of that time in the classroom and then moved into Instructional Coaching to help other teachers improve their practice in those areas. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction.
Classes with Ms. Susan are fun, engaging, and hands on, with an inquiry approach in everything we do. My goal is to latch on to the natural curiosity children have about the world around them and use that to explore science, engineering, and math concepts in a rich and meaningful way. I believe in teaching in ways that children learn, using strategies and activities that foster a love of learning. As a retired teacher, I am not bound by district or state policies and I am able to use fun, creative lessons to instill the academics that children need to master, not the ones they need to pass state assessments.
One of my favorite quotes from Carl Sagan sums up my approach to science education - "Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge." In Ms. Susan's Super Science and Math classes, students will be challenged to think!Reseñas
