Students will use observation skills, and use primary and secondary resources to complete the special weather journal. During library visits, students will focus on using a variety of resources such as newspapers, encyclopedias, internet sources, etc. With newspapers, students learn to identify a headline, author of the news article, table of contents of a newspaper, etc. They especially get to know section A-4: weather. During science visits, students will focus on learning how to make good observations using weather tools just like meteorologists.
