The Weather Zone


The Weather Zone is a total package of lessons and learning resources carefully created with the generalist classroom teacher in mind. In one book it offers everything needed to teach the fundamentals of weather science - scientifically sound lessons, colorful overheads, teaching activities, demonstration experiments and so much more.

The Weather Zone provides about fourteen classroom sessions worth of weather science lessons and activities. An educator may progress through the entire teaching kit or choose to use only the lessons and resources required.

No matter what their comfort levels for teaching science, this book provides educators with powerful tools for maximizing their teaching and preparation time, and advancing the science learning of their students. It is a flexible, thoughtfully-planned resource, created by the combined efforts of an award-winning educator with over 30 years of classroom experience and a world-class climatologist.

Each of the eight coordinated lessons in this kit offers:

• a comprehensive teaching plan
with a step-by-step guide

• pre-preparation checklists

• key learning outcomes,
concepts and vocabulary

• detailed ideas for homework
and supplemental learning
activities

• worksheets, color overhead
pages, examples, science facts,
demonstrations, quotes,
activities, experiments,
and so much more!
 

The "Weather Zone" teaching
kit helps students to:

• learn the basic science of
weather and the basic
properties of air

• practice weather watching
techniques

• describe how weather is
measured and reported

• learn how observing the
weather can help predict it

• examine real time
measurements of weather
conditions
