Weather and Its Effects Symbaloo
Check out these cool learning resources!
Learn about different types of weather and weather tools!
In Science SOL 2.6, you will learn about weather tools and measuring, recording and tracking weather data.
2.6 The student will investigate and understand basic types, changes, and patterns of weather.
Key concepts include
a) identification of common storms and other weather phenomena;
b) the uses and importance of measuring, recording, and interpreting weather data; and
c) the uses and importance of tracking weather data over time.
What are some examples of weather phenomena?
What are weather tools and how do they help us?
Why is it important to track weather over time?
Let's explore!!!
The blue tiles link to resources about SOL 2.6 a: Different kinds of storms and other weather phenomena.
The aqua tiles will take you to resources about SOL 2.6 b and c: Measuring, recording and tracking data and the tools you need to do these jobs.
Look at the icon on each tile to see what kind of a resource it is: something to read, an experiment, video or audio file. There are photos and games too!
Learn about how weather affects living and nonliving things!
In Science SOL 2.7, you'll also learn about the effects that weather and seasonal changes have on plants and animals. Erosion and weathering can effect the land, too.
2.7 The student will investigate and understand that weather and seasonal changes affect
plants, animals, and their surroundings. Key concepts include
a) effects of weather and seasonal changes on the growth and behavior of living things; and
b) weathering and erosion of land surfaces.
What do animals do to survive when the weather changes?
What adaptations do plants have to help them survive when the weather changes?
How do weathering and erosion affect the land?
