Essential Understanding
How is weather measured?
Rationale
Weather is all around us and students need to be able to learn how to use weather tools
to predict the weather and tell what the weather is at that moment.
By learning how to see what the weather is like, students will be able to determine how
they should dress.
Summative I will collect their drawings that they have created about the specific
weather tools and see if the information they wrote on there was correct.

If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
Weather is always occurring and students can now go out into the community
and see what the weather is like. They also can go out and see rain gauges,
weather vanes, wind socks, thermometers, etc. and know what they are used
for and what they are measuring.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
challenge during this lesson (enrichment)?
For students who need enrichment, I will challenge them to tell me where they
could possibly find all of the different weather tools in the community.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
language support?
These students will be paired with students who speak the same native
language as them to help them if they need additional assistance.
Accommodations (If
needed) C, JS, JK, J, and S will already have the weather tools printed for them so they just have to
add the words to their picture. They will have the option to draw it if they want.
