Alex: Weather Detectives

This is an introductory instructional activity to a second grade weather unit. The young scholars will be observing the weather each day for one week and recording their observations in a chart. The students will be integrating information from the Internet as well as what they learn in English by using adjectives in their descriptions. After the young scholars have collected data for a week, in cooperative groups, they will predict the weather for the next week. The teacher will show the students guides or weather reports from past years for that particular week in order to guide them in the direction of an accurate prediction. The young scholars will go to a technology lab to look up and record the weather from a teacher-selected web site.
