Suggestions on things to do with the TV station field trip!
May 13 2008, 11:24 AM EDT -Have your child make a list of questions prior to the visit. -Write a thank you note. Before your visit: Check out this lesson plan! http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/07/g35/earth.html This is another neat lesson plan. http://school.discoveryeducation.com/lessonplans/programs/weathermaps/ Reading weather maps http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/maps/home.rxml Save newspaper weather maps from several days. (I'll ask my neighbor, or use the ones at the library!) You can also find them online. http://weathernow.denverpost.com/hw3.php Write the date on each map. Compare the accuracy of the information with the actual day. Have your child take the temperature for the day, and make a line graph. Watch a televised weather report and compare and contrast it with that day's newspaper weather report. Discuss the similarities and differences in the information and the means of reporting it. When you are done you can create your own weather map , draw diagrams explaining cold fronts and warm fronts. Do you find this valuable? |
