Weather Watchers

We've been studying weather the past couple weeks and we have learned a lot!

Here we are recording the weather for the day.



We used cotton balls to make the different kinds of clouds.  We also made a Cloud Snack.
We used a pineapple for the sun and then used cool whip to make a cloud on top.

We did an experiment to see what would happen if we put a lid full of ice over some really hot water.  It made a cloud!

We made bracelets and hats to help us remember the water cycle.
Yellow beads for the sun, clear for evaporation, clear blue for clouds, light blue for rain, white for snow, green for plants, black for mud, and dark blue for oceans.

Our hats have our important words on them...sun's heat, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

  1. I thought the bracelets were such a neat idea for the kids to remember the water cycle. I thought Kate just came home with a bracelet she made in art class or something..but then she rattled off what you posted above. I was very very impressed. :)
