Math Skills:
Process Standard: Problem Solving; Communications; Connections.
Content Standards: Geometry; Measurement; Data Analysis and Probability.
Science Skills:
Science Inquiry Skills: Prediction, communication, observing, and making hypotheses.
Manipulative Skills: Students will be able to identify different types of clouds.
Holistic Guiding Questions and Activities:
What have we learned during this unit? What have we done to learn about weather? What is weather? What are clouds? What is the water cycle? So many questions and so little time.
Behavioral Objective:
The students will be answer questions and following directions for a review.
Students will be expected to perform is best possible way.
MST Standards:
Standard # 1: Analysis, Inquiry, and Design
o Benchmark:
 Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek
answers, and develop solutions.
Standard #4: Science
o Benchmark:
 Students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to the physical setting and living environment and recognize the historical development of ideas in science.
 Weather is the condition of the outside air at a particular moment
 Weather can be described and measured by temperature, wind speed and direction, form and amount of precipitation and generally sky conditions (cloudy, sunny, partly cloudy)
 Water is recycled by natural processes on Earth
 Erosion and deposition result from the interaction among air, water and land
Standard #4: Language for Social Interaction
o Benchmark:
 Students will listen, speak, read, and write for social
interaction. Students will use oral and written language that follows the accepted conventions of the English language for effective social communication with a wide variety of people. As readers and listeners, they will use the social communications of others to enrich their understanding of people and their views.
Procedure:
1. We have learned a great deal about weather and clouds and how it all incorporates into our life.
2. We are going to be watching a power point presentation that I have made.
3. After watching this you will get a sheet with websites and questions on them.
4. We will go to the computer lab for you to answer them.
5. We have to walk quietly there while other classes are going.
6. You need to bring a clip board, and pen with you to answer the following questions.
7. You have plenty of time to answer the following questions you will be receiving a grade on this.
8. Please take it seriously and work hard on it.
9. There will be websites and the question is under the website. Use that website and only that website to answer the questions.
10. Follow the directions on the paper.
11. I wish you luck, are there any questions before I start?
Materials:
1. Internet
2. Computer Lab
3. Worksheet
Accommodations: Students with difficulty completing activities would be paired up with a fellow student mentor. This would accommodate the gifted and the learning-disabled students.
Assessments:
This will be assessed formally and informal assessment about how well they have paid attention, followed directions and answered the questions.
Rubric is placed at the end of the lesson
