# Activities: Weather Watchers
  • Create a bulletin board or a science notebook where students can use pictures or words to record weather each day.

  • Have students take turns being a “weather reporter.” Each day, the weather reporter describes the day’s weather. Is it rainy or dry? Warm or cold? Windy or still?

  • Make a simple windsock and hang it outside your window so students can observe changes in the wind direction and speed.
