What can you observe and measure to help you predict the weather? What tools and information do meteorologists use? What do the symbols on surface maps and station model plot maps mean, and how can they help you know what changes will happen where you are? Can you build your own weather station? Do animals and plants react to changes in the weather? Answer these and other questions as you become more of an expert kid meteorologist in "Meteorology for Kids: How to Observe and Forecast the Weather." Through lively and interactive discussions, weather observations, teacher demonstrations, opportunities for hands-on activities, vivid images, diagrams, and current weather data, students will better understand how to predict weather changes during this exciting and fun 8-week semester class. The teacher will invite each learner to keep a weather log of observations or data from official sources. Based on this information and weather patterns, the learners will learn what predictions they can make. They will follow the weekly weather with the class and analyze weather maps and other information. In doing so, they will master what symbols on a weather map mean, like isobars, dotted lines, numbers, fronts, radar overlays, and high and low pressure areas. Our class will follow weather changes such as snowstorms, record-level cold or warmth, soaking rains, high winds, possible severe weather, and where the weather is calm. The learners will also have opportunities to build and use their own weather instruments from materials they might have at home. The teacher will perform demonstrations to help increase the kids' understanding of weather, and they will have opportunities to perform these activities themselves after class. Plus, many of the kids have stories of fascinating weather experiences they will want to share with their classmates! A goal is for each learner to become more of a meteorology expert when this class ends. More specifically by week: Class 1: The students will learn what clues there are in things like clouds, wind direction, air pressure, and temperature that can help them predict weather changes. They will discover what scientists are observing that animals and plants do during certain weather changes. The teacher will make a wind vane, and he will invite them to do the same and test it out. He will invite them to start a weather log and enter data they observe or find out from other sources. Class 2: The students will observe ways to show changes in air pressure and be invited to try them. The teacher will make a barometer, and he will invite the students to do the same and begin using it. The students will learn what it could mean when barometric pressure rises or falls. Class 3: The students will learn to recognize 27 types of clouds and what weather could happen when they see them. Class 4: The students will see how things like air pressure, wind direction, and wind speed look on a weather map and begin to learn how to use them to forecast what might happen where they live. They will check their skills on how to measure rainfall and snowfall depth. The teacher will make a rain gauge and invite them to do the same and begin using it. They will explore how the weather changes when a front moves through. Class 5: The teacher will make an anemometer, and he will invite the students to do so and test it out. They will begin learning about official surface weather plot symbols (for precipitation, pressure, temperature, wind direction, wind speed, sky cover, and cloud type) and begin using them. Class 6: The students will see how meteorologists use tools like satellite photos, computer models, Doppler radar, and other things to help forecast the weather. The students will learn about the Doppler effect, which enables meteorologists to identify possible tornadoes on radar. Class 7: The students will increase their expertise about what makes air feel comfortable or uncomfortable to us – wind chill, the heat index, the dew point, and relative humidity. They will observe the evaporation of water over time and learn how changes in humidity affect the weather. Class 8: The class will analyze today's weather map, combining all the things they have learned in class. They will try their hand at forecasting upcoming changes in the weather where they live, and in other parts of their country. We will tell and listen to fun and fascinating weather stories.

Optional materials the learner might work with that are potentially hazardous are: A glass jar, a pushpin, a thermometer containing a glass tube, a balloon, a rubber band, an empty small can (I strongly prefer without sharp edges remaining, but please be aware if there are), and scissors. An occasional hole may have to be punched through corrugated cardboard as well. For these optional activities, I will leave it up to your parental discretion as to whether to allow your child to handle each item during class. Furthermore, because a balloon is one of the items on the supply list, if you have children at home that are significantly younger than the age level for this class, I will leave it up to you to ensure that the balloon and any pieces of it that may be removed by cutting remain inaccessible to those younger children. Any of these aforementioned materials are of particular concern around younger children, of course. On a small portion of one of the weather instruments, there is an option to use a hot glue gun, which I expect an adult or teen would operate, unless your child is of sufficient age or has proven to be experienced enough that you trust the child to operate it. Thanks!
Lista de útiles escolares
I will provide a printable weather log and possibly other printable materials. (NOTE: If learners cannot print at home, they can instead write on separate paper, refer to the document(s) on our classroom page, and benefit by observing during class.) In addition, here are the required and optional materials I anticipate: REQUIRED: Pencil Eraser Colored pencils, crayons, or markers Notebook (spiral or composition book) to take notes and make drawings; or loose sheets of paper and a folder or binder OPTIONAL (to assemble weather station components): thermometer (with a glass tube safely encased in plastic or metal) 2 push pins 2 pencils with attached erasers (can be unsharpened) index card (or plastic school folder you no longer need) 4 drinking straws (paper or plastic, but 1 must be plastic if using a plastic school folder – see above) white glue (or hot glue gun – to be handled only by an adult – if using a plastic straw and a plastic school folder) balloon (to be kept away from small children) scissors rubber band empty small can (without sharp edges remaining) or small glass jar (parent supervision recommended for younger children) piece of corrugated cardboard (a bit larger than a medium or large paper plate, or at least 2 inches wider than the length of a straw) square of corrugated cardboard (8 to 12 inches in diameter) paper plate (at least 2 inches larger than the length of a straw) ruler protractor Sharpie (black, or up to 4 dark-colored Sharpies) large paper or plastic cup 4 small paper cups (like the ones people use in the bathroom) tape (mailing, packing, or regular transparent)

Fascinated by the weather as a kid, I have been observing and following it ever since. As an adult, I taught elementary school-aged children about meteorology for decades, whether as a science teacher at school or in special programs.
I enjoy inspiring and motivating students to learn unfamiliar material in ways that are relevant to their everyday lives and to engage in critical thinking and problem solving. This involves a combination of inquiry, discovery, discussion, and storytelling with an age-appropriate sense of humor. Establishing a low-risk atmosphere and a comfortable rapport, I enjoy connecting with each individual learner, valuing the unique interests, strengths, and eager curiosity the students bring to class.
