Description
Make learning about weather and climate engaging and interactive with this Google Classroom activity pack! Perfect for 4th-grade students, this no-prep, standards-aligned resource explores the difference between weather and climate, how long-term seasonal trends shape different regions, and how weather predictions are made.
With editable reading passages, drag-and-drop tasks, and short-answer questions, students will gain a deeper understanding of weather patterns and climate zones while developing critical thinking and observation skills. These hands-on, interactive activities make science lessons easy to plan and fun to teach!
Weather & Climate Passages & Activities Includes the Following Google Slides:
- Editable reading passages
- Drag-&-drop: answer the questions about weather & climate (what is climate? what is weather?)
- Short answer: Compare weather and climate on a Venn diagram
- Drag-&-drop: identify if the description describes weather or climate
- Short answer: Brainstorm sentences about your city for weather & climate
