Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 3

Objective:
1. Identify different types of weather and their characteristics.
2. Describe the effects of different types of weather on daily life.
3. Create simple ways to protect oneself from hazardous weather conditions.

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Different Types of Clouds: This topic explores various cloud formations and their
relation to weather changes, which provides a deeper understanding of how clouds
can indicate different weather conditions.
2. Seasons and Weather Patterns: Understanding how seasons affect weather
patterns helps students connect how different types of weather occur at different
times of the year and how it impacts daily life.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. Language Arts - Weather Poetry: Students can create poems about different types
of weather, enhancing their vocabulary and understanding of weather characteristics
while integrating artistic expression.
2. Mathematics - Weather Data Collection: Students can collect and analyze weather
data (temperature, precipitation) over a week, allowing them to practice data
interpretation and graphing skills, reinforcing their understanding of weather impacts.

Engage:
Teaching Strategy: Interactive Learning
Instructional Materials: Chart paper, markers
Energizer 1: Weather Charades
Students take turns acting out different types of weather (e.g., sunny, rainy, stormy)
without speaking, while the rest of the class guesses the type of weather.
Energizer 2: Weather Bingo
Create bingo cards with various weather types and characteristics. Call out
descriptions, and students mark them on their cards. This can be done verbally,
making it inclusive for all students.

Activities
Activity 1: Weather Station
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Materials: Chart paper, colored markers, pictures of different weather types
Significance: Students will collaborate to create a visual weather station that
identifies and describes different types of weather.

Instructions:
1. Divide the class into small groups.
2. Assign each group a specific type of weather to research (sunny, rainy, snowy,
etc.).
3. Groups will create a poster that includes the characteristics of their assigned
weather type.

Rubrics:
- Creativity and effort in the poster: 5 pts.
- Accuracy of information: 5 pts.
- Group collaboration: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What are the characteristics of your assigned weather type?
2. How does this type of weather affect daily life?
3. What precautions should we take during this weather?
Activity 2: Weather Role Play
Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning
Materials: None (inclusive activity)
Significance: Students will act out scenarios where they must respond to different
weather conditions, promoting understanding of safety measures.

Instructions:
1. Organize students into small groups and assign each a type of weather.
2. Groups will create a short skit demonstrating the effects of their weather type on
daily life and how to stay safe.
3. Each group presents their skit to the class.

Rubrics:
- Clarity of presentation: 5 pts.
- Understanding of weather type: 5 pts.
- Creativity in the skit: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What challenges did your character face in the weather scenario?
2. What safety measures did your group demonstrate?
3. How could daily life change with this weather type?

Explain:
Activity 1 - Students will summarize their findings from the weather station activity,
discussing the characteristics of different weather types and their impact on daily life.
Activity 2 - The teacher will provide a brief lecture on how different weather patterns
affect the environment and human activities.
Activity 3 - Discuss the importance of safety measures during hazardous weather
conditions, emphasizing preparation and awareness.

Elaborate:
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning
1. Task: Students will create a personal weather safety plan for their home, outlining
steps to take during different weather conditions.
2. Task: Students will design a simple weather journal where they record daily
weather observations and reflect on how it affects their activities.
Discussion: Students will share their plans and journals in small groups, fostering
communication and peer feedback.

Evaluate:
Teaching Strategy: Formative Assessment

Questions:
1. What are the main characteristics of a stormy day?
2. How can weather patterns affect transportation?
3. What is one way to prepare for a heatwave?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How might climate change affect weather patterns in your area?
2. What are the consequences of not preparing for severe weather?
3. In what ways can communities work together to stay safe during hazardous
weather?

Answers:
1. Climate change may lead to more extreme weather events, altering traditional
weather patterns.
2. Failing to prepare can result in property damage, injury, or loss of life, highlighting
the importance of awareness and preparedness.
3. Communities can establish emergency plans, share resources, and educate
residents about safety measures to enhance collective safety.

Assignment:
1. Students will keep a daily weather log for one week, noting the weather conditions
and any related activities they did, fostering observation skills and real-world
application of what they learned.
