This unit study kit is packed full of supplies and fun, hands-on learning experiences to introduce weather, especially storms and other extreme types of weather.
Kids will learn about the atmosphere where weather forms, and how the water cycle works. Then they will experiment with sensory projects and process art to discover thunder and lightning storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. They’ll learn about the job of a meteorologist, and how science and technology aid us in observing weather and predicting patterns in order to build stronger buildings and keep people safe from storms. Some bonus activities about wind, kites, and rainbows are also included.
This unit study was designed to teach some of the science of weather, as well as give kids the chance to explore possible fears surrounding weather, exposing the mystery of storms through experimentation and discussion. As they say, knowledge is power!

Learning Tips
Learning Tips
We’ve divided the learning experiences into eight sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit. The activities in this kit were designed for K to 4th graders. But we know kids are at all different levels and interests, so feel free to skip or add-to an activity if it isn’t right for your child(ren). That’s what Schoolhouse Discoveries are all about - having fun learning and finding ways that best fit your needs.
