Mrs. Badino's Weather Unit


Mrs. Badino's students have just completed a weather webquest in which they collected weather data, analyzed the data, learned about various aspects of weather, and learned how to forecast the weather.  Besides participating in in-class mini-lessons and demonstrations, students were responsible for some of their own learning by moving through the webquest   They used a number of resources to access information.  Although this was a new method of learning for many of them, they learned a lot as evidenced in assessments and forecasting.  They now spend a few minutes each day forecasting the day's weather and comparing their forecasts to those of local meteorologists.  They are excited that their forecasts are just as accurate!
 
Here is the link to the webquest.
