Weather and The Water Cycle – Grade Seven

Description:

In this unit, students learn about water and the weather. During the course of this unit, students will learn how the water cycle functions and how it is related to our weather. Students will make weather observations, use their data to learn about weather phenomena and understand how weather maps are constructed. The lessons employ cooperative learning opportunities, games, homework and student presentations. This variety of instructional strategies helps students take more active roles in their learning.
