SCIENCE OF WEATHER
Weather is what is going on outside right now.
Let the kids look out through the window.
Is it sunny? Is it raining, is it hot or cold?
The answers to these questions will help the kids understand what weather really means.
It is the condition of the sky for a very short period of time.
Weather conditions can change very quick so soon .
The weather is different at different places around the world. In some places, it is sunny right now, while in other places, it’s snowing, raining or cloudy.
CAUSES OF WEATHER:
ALL our weather comes basically from two things; the sun and the moisture in the air.
These two work together to form clouds which make rain and
Thunderstorms. These weather conditions cause winds to blow. The wind blows because air has weight.
WEATER FORECAST: Weather forecast will tell us what the temperature will be, if it’s going to rain, or snow, cloudy or sunny.
The sun is the engine that drives the motion of water in our atmosphere. This movement of water is called the water cycle.
For the kids to understand the meaning of weather, they need to know what is atmosphere.
