This complete unit includes information about Weathering, Erosion, Types of Clouds, Weather Maps, and Weather Instruments. Updated with Leveled Reading Passages with three difficulty levels, build a weather tool lab, and more hands-on activities.
Weather is an important part of our everyday lives. Knowing what the weather will be like helps us decide whether to wear shorts, carry an umbrella, or wear a warm coat and mittens each day. Meteorologists gather information about the weather using many different tools and instruments. They then forecast or predict what the weather will be like.
In this unit students will learn all about:
- Weather
- Weathering & Erosion
- Types of Clouds
- Meteorologists & Forecasting
- Weather Maps
- Water Cycle
- Weather Vocabulary
Weather Instruments:
- Barometer

⭐THIS UNIT IS PART OF A SCIENCE MEGA BUNDLE
There Are 6 Main Parts of This Weather Unit:
Introduce the Weather Unit with Benjamin & Marie, two young scientists, and future meteorologists. They are in color and black and white depending on if you want to use them for the bulletin board or for individual use.
Introduce the vocabulary words with the real-life photo posters included. You could post these posters around the classroom and have students travel around to match up and define the words in their flip flaps or use them as a center activity. In addition, the vocabulary flip flaps are a great hands-on activity that works well in their interactive notebooks. Looks great on bulletin boards too!
There are several informational articles with organizers, comprehension, and connection questions. It starts with basic weather concepts with informational articles on weathering, erosion, types of clouds, 5 weather instruments, Fahrenheit & Celsius, forecasting the weather, weather symbols & weather maps. These are great for centers, partner work, and group work!
Have students read all about the weather instruments and complete an activity or experiment. Check out the websites with directions and photos for how-to’s to make homemade instruments for student experiments.
Then read about Weather Maps and forecasting the weather and Types of Clouds. Included are 5 different weather map activities for students to complete. I recommend printing the weather maps in color as some questions ask what the different colors on the map stand for. I usually print a few copies of the maps in color and place these in sheet protectors or laminate. Then you could have the students use a dry eraser marker to answer the questions, check their answers, and erase. Or copy off black and white versions for the students to write their answers and have the color one displayed on the interactive whiteboard so they can see it in color.
Additional Student Activities: Cloud Accordion Fold Booklet, Cause & Effect, compare and contrast, Create a Cloud (with cotton balls) Weather Quiz & Reflection.
