Weather is a difficult unit to study as it is something to observe over a period of time on a large scale. It also typically done through the point of view of another person (watching videos or analyzing graphs).
Since this is the first unit we cover in seventh grade I would like for my students to have the opportunity to begin the year by working together to build the kits, analyze changes from their personal view and work, and to have hands on experience with weather.
These kits include experiments that will help students understand how weather works. They will be able to experiment with static electricity which causes lightning, build a desktop water cycle model, and even make clouds in their hands. As well as, watch air currents that produce wind and study the greenhouse effect and acid rain. This is a great kit that includes every aspect of the standard we cover and will allow them create connections that are otherwise difficult to grasp.
