They will fill out some answers about the weather, and climate of the region || Identify the climate of the region/country Know about different weather patterns in this country || They will choose a hurricane, tornado, flood, severe thunderstorm, any kind of severe weather || Students must describe this storm to the citizens of the area Describe cloud forms if any Describe what is causing the storm i.e. Pressure, heat, a lot of rain, if it is hailing what causes that || This will be a fun way for the students to demonstrate their knowledge of the weather patterns in a region || Students will be able to identify different weather patterns according to a region They will be able to demonstrate their skills by creating a movie forecast || They demonstrate if these clouds produce storms in their video They must include pictures of the different forms of clouds || Students will demonstrate their knowledge of Stratus, Altostratus, Cirrus, and Cumulus clouds They will be able to describe the weather created by these clouds Will describe how these clouds are formed || They can take pictures of themselves out in various types of weather They can draw pictures of the weather Or they can find them from the internet || Another way that students will be able to describe weather Can include clouds, precipitation, how they have to dress, and how this weather effects them || For Example: When it is hot the water evaporates, then when it gets cool the water condenses || Students will demonstrate a knowledge of the water cycle They will be able to explain Precipitation, Run off, Evaporation, and Condensation || They may end the story with the raindrop in any form of water they please i.e. Fresh Water, the Ocean, a Lake, a Pool, in a glass of water || Students will better be able to understand the water cycle Students will be able to understand that the water ends up not only in the ocean || Students will also create an understanding of how to create a graph ||
