Log Cabin in a Thunderstorm Lesson Plan

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Young scholars work on a K-W-L chart about electrical storms, lightening, and thunder. They discuss how meteorologists forecast storms and research their answers which are shared in a whole class setting. Using art supplies, they draw dwelling which they feel would be safe in a stormy situation. Finally, they write a narrative of comforting a younger person during a storm.
