It's raining, it's pouring! Simulate the precipitation process with rope or hula hoop and assorted colored construction paper. This simple game should give young young scholars a better understanding of how rain falls.

Students demonstrate the steps of evaporation, cloud formation, and precipitation within the water cycle. They make and demonstrate how to use a hygrometer to record daily humidity and describe how rain, snow, and sleet form.

Learners research folklore and scientific information about rain and water cycles. Then they communicate their understanding of water cycles by creating mobiles showing each stage. Students also write their own folk tales, explaining the...

Students learn about similarities and differences between different types of weather patterns.  In this weather lesson plan, students read Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Weather.  Students create a word search puzzle, complete a...
