  2. The weather forecast for today is a high of 49 degrees F and a 90% chance of rain. If you are curious about how those clouds in the sky form or why it rains, then this is the experiment for you! Read the directions carefully, gather the necessary supplies and get to work on creating your own water cycle in a bag. When you are done, take a photo and upload it to SeeSaw to record your learning and share with us.

    This is my water cycle in a bag. The picture was taken this morning. I can’t wait to see yours!
  3. If you have completed all assignments, and the revisions have been made, go on a VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP! (Optional)

    Virtual Field Trip to The Weather Channel

    • Travel to Atlanta, Georgia to meet Kyle from The Discovery Channel and Mark, a Meteorologist with The Weather Channel. On this trip you will learn about Extreme Weather and see what happens behind the scenes of the shows on The Weather Channel. 
    • This is a recording of a live trip that happened several years ago, so you are not able to send questions or comments. 
    • The video is approximately 1 hour in length and very interesting! Try watching it in two parts – 30 minutes each time. Take notes on surprising facts, new weather instruments and questions you have.
