Science Unit - Weather



Next week we will be starting our new science unit on weather.  This is always a fun unit because we get to learn about how snow is formed, what the different types of weather are, and we do different experiments to learn about weather.  We will also be learning about states of matter and the water cycle.  Sometimes we are able to get a meteorologist from a local news station come in to tell us about their job.  They also explain different symbols on a weather map such as highs, lows, and precipitation.

Here are some fun weather websites for you and your child to check out together!!
