Explore
The Explore session promotes interest in and curiosity about weather and the clothes and gear needed for different types of weather. In this session, students “dress” a character appropriately for the weather. Students also participate in a teacher-led discussion that encourages them to wonder about the different things that are needed for different weather conditions. To complete the session, students work collaboratively offline to further explore different types of weather.

This Elaborate session allows students to apply what they have learned to new situations. In this session, students participate in a selection of activities that focus on science process skills and content understanding. To complete the session, students work independently, or with peers, to complete an offline activity that reinforces science process skills.
