Lesson 3 Earth and the Environment IN THE SKY AND ON THE LAND Lesson Plan Introduction: 1. Review and consolidate the previous learning by reading through the interactive game Day Sky, Night Sky at . As a class, construct a day sky scene by clicking on the options on the right-hand side. Ask pupils questions such as What other things might you see in the sky, like the clouds? What if it was raining? What if there was a storm? Development: 2. Display the online weather chart tool at . Click on the red button to display the weather icons. In pairs, pupils discuss each icon and write what they think it means on a mini whiteboard; for example, sunny, sunny with some clouds, rain, snow and so on. Discuss the possible descriptions and what they mean, and how they relate to the sky’s appearance. 3. Complete the online weather chart as a class, by selecting today’s weather. Pupils will need to observe the sky before deciding on an appropriate icon for the weather. 4. Discuss what other icons might be needed to describe the sky’s appearance. In pairs, pupils draw another weather icon that would help show how the sky looks during certain weather. How many different types of clouds have you seen? What might you see if the weather is dark and gloomy? What might you see during a light shower? Have you ever seen a foggy morning? 5. Pupils share their creations with the class for others to decipher. 6. For the remainder of the week or up until the next science lesson, pupils work in pairs to record a brief weather report video each day using a tablet computer. Like a meteorologist, they should focus on cloud coverage and the amount of sunshine in the sky. Ensure they film what the sky looks like and describe the clouds and sunshine to predict what kind of weather this might mean for the day. Use page 143 as a guide. Alternatively, a class weather chart can be set up on the working wall and a rota devised so that a different pupil updates it every day. Differentiation • Challenge pupils to include more detail into their weather observation such as temperature and the chance of rain during the day. Pupils can participate in guided group work to make the videos or mixed ability groups where each member takes turns in predicting the weather and appearing in the video. Reflection: Viewing sample 7. Pupils view each other’s videos daily and compare if they all predicted the same weather. Did you all see the same things in the sky? What did the clouds look like? What did the sunshine look like? Who saw something different? Why? 142 Science: A STEM APPROACH 1st CLASS 978-1-912760-15-2 Prim-Ed Publishing – www.prim-ed.com
