Water and Weather UnitWeek 14
Directions1. Prepare your desk for science.• Put your signed test face down on your
desk.2. Use voice level 2 (conversation) to share with
each other what you would do to improve the states of water experiment in the future.
Targets & Warm UpTargets:• Students will discover how and why water
changes state.• Students will identify the tools of a
meteorologist.
Warm Up: Collect tests
Conclusion– Hypothesis reflection• Was your hypothesis correct or incorrect? Why?• What did you see happen to the state of water as
heat energy was taken away and then added?– Areas of improvement• How could you improve this experiment in the
future?– Application section• What did the experiment teach you about the states
of water and heat energy?• How can you use this information in real life?– ** HINT: Water cycle!
Targets (Revisited)
Targets:Students will discover how and why water changes state.
What is a meteorologist?
• Meteorologist: A scientist who studies and measures weather conditions
• Meteorologists use readings from tools to tell about the weather today and to predict future weather
Question: What weather conditions might meteorologists need to measure?
What do you think these tools do?

Once you are finished with the Table of Contents, go to page 42 and add the title and date to the top of the page.
Activity #1
1. Cut out all 6 weather tools.2. Paste the weather tools into your notebook.• The tools should be evenly spaced.• Leave room to write the tool name and
what the tool does.
Thermometer Barometer Anemometer
Wind Vane Rain Gauge Hygrometer
Activity #2
Read textbook pg. 194 to 195 out loud in your table group.• After reading each section, see if you can
identify the function of a tool.• Decide what the function of the tool is and
write it underneath or next to the tool name (ex. Thermometer: Measures _____________)Air temperature
Water and Weather UnitWeek 14
Directions1. Prepare your desk for science.• Put your signed test face down on your
desk.2. Use voice level 2 (conversation) to reread
textbook pg. 194 to 195. If you did not finish writing down the functions for the instruments, work with your table group to finish the activity from yesterday.
Targets & Warm UpTargets:• Students will identify the tools of a
meteorologist.
Warm Up: What tools did we identify yesterday? What is the function of each tool?

QuestionsWhat tool would he or she use?
1. Gina wants to know whether it’s hot or cold outside.2. Gerald wants to know how much rain has fallen over
the past three days.3. Anna wants to know if it will be a windy day.4. Claire wants to know if it will be a cloudy day or a
sunny day.5. Allen wants to know if the wind is blowing towards
the north or south.6. Eric wants to know if the air is going to feel wet or
dry.
Targets (Revisited)Targets:• Students will identify the tools of a
meteorologist.
