Great Resource with Acitivity for Middle Schooler

This is a great resource to use when studying weather with middle school students. It includes an acitivity called "Weather Watch" in which students will watch their local weather of a period of time. They will identify patterns in their local weather and then attempt to make weather predictions. In doing this activity, students gain a better understanding and appreciation of weather and meterology. The resource contains important background information, a procedure for completing the activity, questions and conclusion, and a teacher guide. Overall, this is an excellent resource and a great way to get students working hands on in science class!

Excellent Resource- Wide Variety of Information

I found this resource to be fantastic for re-teaching myself the major components of weather. This sci-pack is filled with rich information needed to teach middle schoolers about weather and climate. It has a wide variety of different sub-topics which are extremely useful. I found that the time it took to complete this resource was time well spent. The embedded checks for understanding and short quizzes really encompassed the information being presented. Overall, this is a high quality resource!
