Our next topic in science will be weather. There will be ten lessons taught for our weather unit. Some of the topics we will cover will involve: using the Internet to study the weather, natural disasters (4 lessons-floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards), types of clouds, wind, types of precipitation, weather changes with all the seasons, and the water cycle.
Some links that will help further our understanding of weather are:

During these lessons, students will be asked to use certain technology to help them gain more knowledge about the weather. Some technology that may be used are: the Internet, flip video cameras, Microsoft programs, some YouTube videos, and possibly more that will be incorporated in each lesson. Technology is a big part of education today and we would like to help your child gain more knowledge about technology because it will most likely help your child in further assignments during their education career.
If you have any questions regarding the weather unit or the use of technology, just contact me or Craig Anderson. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Allyson Bennett and Craig Anderson
