Introduction
Today, we are going to be meteorologists! We are going to learn about the weather and their pattern as well as the data. We are predicting and study the different parts of what is it takes to learn about weather. Once I know that you all understand how it work, you will get create your very own thunderstorm.
Complete the weather graphic organizer as you go through each task.
Task
With a partner, you will learn more about weather and their patterns. As you read more about weather, you and your partner will be completing a graphic organizer. Pay close attention to the facts and to what you are learning! Once you have finished the graphic organizer, you will answer questions to assess your knowledge.
After you have read, researched, and analyzed weather patterns, you will create a thunderstorm using sheets, flashlights, and towels. You will get to show the class and explain how it all works together.
Process
WEATHER
A weather is how the sky looks and the air feels. Weather can be described in terms of temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, sunshine, and wind.
Here is a fun video I want you and your partner to watch. This video will help you learn more about weather and patterns. Make sure you are listening closely to the video, it will help you later when you are answering questions.
There are many different types of weather which can result including rain, snow, wind, frost, fog and sunshine. The elements that can describe the weather is temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, precipitation, and cloudiness.
You will go to these website to learn more about weather.

Good job! You have made learned more about weather, now it is time for the fun part. You get to create a thunderstorm! Once you have finished everything, you will bring me your graphic organizer and your questions completed.
I will give you and your partner a sheet, flashlight, and a towel. You will go back to your desk (or designated area) with your partner and begin to create the different parts of a thunderstorms, such as rain, lightning, and wind. You will have the rest of the class time to create your thunderstorm.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have learned so much about weather. I am so proud of each and all of you. I cannot wait to see and hear your thunderstorm you came up with.
