Description of Activities and Setting

Time

In our last science lesson we learned about the names of the different seasons
in a year. Do you remember how many seasons there are? (CFU) Can you
name all of the seasons? (CFU)
We are now going to watch a video about some different things that describe
each of the seasons.
This is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

In todays science lesson we are going to compare the weather patterns of the
four different seasons. I want you to start thinking about different things you
saw in each of the seasons in the video. I want you to look at the pictures that
are on your table and think of the things you see in those pictures. (Each table
has one season with pictures of that particular season.)
At your tables I want you to talk to the people at your table and see what you
all thought of. Now if you raise your hand I want you tell me what season
you are talking about and tell me one thing you noticed about the weather
during that season. On the projector, as each student is speaking about that
season I will show the pictures that student had at their table so the rest of the
class can see the picture clearly. As the student talks about the weather
happening in their picture I will write down some of the words they say so the
rest of the class can clearly see it.
Now I want you to go to another table and with your table mates I want you to
find at least one weather pattern that we did not write down on the board and I
want you one person in your group to write it down and bring it up to the front
of the class.
The last thing we are going to do is on the sheet of paper I have given you,
you are going to write a sentence about one of the four season we have talked
about and I want you to draw a picture of the weather that happens during that
season.
If students are able to accurately write a sentence and draw an accurate picture then they
have met the objective.
