Science
- The child has learned about different types of weather such as sunny, rainy, cloudy, and windy.
- They have learned that weather can change throughout the day and from season to season.
- The child has learned about the water cycle and how it relates to weather patterns.
- They have learned about the different tools used to measure and predict the weather, such as a thermometer, rain gauge, and weather vane.
To continue developing their understanding of weather, encourage the child to observe and record the weather each day. They can create a weather journal where they draw pictures or write descriptions of the weather and document any changes they notice. Additionally, you can engage them in hands-on experiments to explore weather phenomena, such as creating a mini tornado in a bottle or conducting a rain gauge experiment to measure rainfall.
