Gathering Weather Data at Our Very Own Weather Stations

Our class has been visiting the Weather Stations in Cannon Garden regularly to observe and record weather data. The study of weather is part of our science curriculum and is an ongoing investigation in first grade. See below for expectations, concepts and key questions.

Student Expectation

The student is expected to record weather information, including relative temperature, such as hot or cold, clear or cloudy, calm or windy, and rainy or icy; AND demonstrate that air is all around us and observe that wind is moving air.

Key Concepts

Fundamental Questions

We begin our time in the garden by reciting the 'Garden Pledge'.

I pledge allegiance to the Real School Garden for which it exists.
I pledge to be safe and not run.
I will honor all living things, including my classmates.
I will be respectful of other learners in the garden.
I promise to have fun and to learn something new with a smile.

This is followed by a brief walk through the garden to make observations and enjoy nature. When we come back together, we record both quantitative data, using tools, and qualitative data, using our senses. Learning about the weather in such an authentic way is just one thing we will be doing in the garden. This space holds an endless supply of learning opportunities!
