    Weather Walks

    Kindergarten-1st Grade Activity

    Grade Levels:
    Objectives:

    K-1st Grade
    Learn about different types of
    weather
    Compare changes in weather
    of time

    K-1 Standards:
    Procedures:

    Teach students the weather song that goes to the tune


    of BINGO. The words are:
    We have weather everyday

    Today is sunny weather.


    S-U-N-N-Y, S-U-N-N-Y, S-U-N-N-Y
    Today its sunny weather.
    Change the words of the song to match the weather
    possibilities include: sunny and snowy
    Sunny Walk
    1.

    Discuss that it can be sunny

    weather in the summer and in the winter.


    When it is sunny weather we have
    shadows. The suns rays cannot pass
    through solid objects so shadows are the
    places light could not get through.
    2.
    Divide up into partners. Go
    outside and trace each others shadows on
    the sidewalk with chalk.
    3.
    You may want to go outside
    later and see if you can fit into the
    shadow tracings made earlier in the day.
    Explain how the sun appears to have
    moved in the sky, causing a change in the

    Procedures:

    shadows.
    4.

    Sun Song by Jean Marzollo

    describes the suns activities from sunrise


    to sunset.
    Snowy Walk
    1.
    Ezra Keats.
    2.

    Read The Snowy Day by


    Have students measure how

    deep the snow is in different places.


    Discuss why it is different.
    3.
    Take the temperature of the
    snow and the ground beneath. Is it
    different? Discuss why. How would that
    affect animals?
    4.
    Collect snow in one jar and
    ice in another.
    5.
    Place an elastic band
    around the jars to show where the snow
    and ice levels are. Ask the class for
    predictions about how much water will
    remain when the ice and snow melt. Will

    the water level be above the elastic or


    below the elastic? Record the answers.
    6.
    Ask students which jar will
    melt faster, the ice or the snow. Record
    their predictions and later their answers.
    7.
    Explain that there is more air
    in snow so it makes less water. The air also
    causes the snow to melt faster. Have
    students observe how clean the melted
    snow is. Discuss the reasons for not eating
    snow.

    Assessment:

    Student artwork and participation in each weather


    walk is a good assessment of whether they
    understand the concepts covered. Each weather
    walk is designed to help students become more
    observant and experience the weather in different
    ways than they might have before.

    Materials:

    The Book: Snowy Day by Ezra Keats,


    sidewalk chalk, ruler, thermometer, jar, elastic
    band, notebook paper
