Our in house field trip....

Scientist Joe from 'Science Fun for Everyone' came to our school today to share some fun ways to learn about weather. First we learned a fun dance to remember the water cycle....

Ask your child to show you the stages of the water cycle with the fun dance they learned (collection, evaporation, condensation, and evaporation).

We also learned that clouds are made from water and air. And we even got to feel what a cloud feels like. Some of us even tasted a cloud....

We learned that meteorologists use a thermometer to observe the weather. We then used thermometers to see the temperature of the air in our classroom. We then used the thermometers to compare the temperature of our thumbs and the temperature of air in the classroom.

We then used thermometers to measure the temperature of water

We then talked about the 4 seasons. The kids picked out items from the 'Mystery Box' and placed the items with the corresponding season....

We made different types of weather including tornados and snow! We even got to bring home some of the snow. 

We even earned Science Certificates recognizing us for our outstanding work as scientists!
