BE+A+METEOROLOGIST!

Project title: Be a Meteorologist! Grade: 5 Name: Laura Norris Project idea: Students will predict weather. Students will investigate different cloud types and use weather tools. Students will draw conclusions from data and observations, and then present a weather forecast. Driving question: How does weather change? Content:
 * 5 E 1.2 Predict upcoming weather events from weather data collected through observation and measurements
 * 5 E 1.1 Compare daily and seasonal changes in weather conditions (including wind speed and direction, precipitation, and temperature) and patterns
 * 5 E 1.3 Explain how global patterns such as the jet stream and water currents influence local weather in measurable terms such as temperature, wind direction and speed, and precipitation.
 * 5 SI. 1 Apply criteria to determine appropriate information resources for specific topics and purposes.
 * 5 TT.1 Use technology tools and skills to reinforce and extend classroom concepts and activities
 * 5 RP.1 Apply a research process as part of collaborative research

Major student product: Major Products:
 * Graph weather data
 * Poster of weather instruments- Quiz/Questioning CLASSROOM DISCUSSION
 * Poster of cloud types and descriptions -Also could be with other poster CLASSROOM DISCUSSION
 * Give a weather forecast, individually

Revision/reflection Public audience In depth Inquiry
 * Revise work
 * Practice forecast
 * Meteologist
 * Perform before school staff/students
