Weather Unit

We've been learning all about weather. Students experimented with the wind by blowing bubbles and flying kites. We discussed wind direction, what makes wind, and the impact wind has on our changing weather.

 Students also had to work with a partner to design, build, and test a parachute when learning about air pressure. Here is the designing process. 

In this video, they are testing their parachutes to see if they fly, how fast they fly, and if the "food" they're bringing to firefighters stays in the basket."

We also learned about temperature and how to read a thermometer. We discussed the weather patterns throughout each season, and students learned about the impact weather has on our daily lives.
