Wonderful Weather

This past week studied a mini unit of Wonderful Weather. This included a couple of fun science experiments, watching live weather forecast, learning and writing some weather words, two great weather books: The Rainy Day and The Little Cloud, and making a fun rainbow mobile at the end of the unit and attaching our wether words!
We had two fun experiments! First, rain in a jar with foam shaving cream and food coloring. This experiment helped to explain the water cycle to students. Next, we made a soap cloud! I had never done this before (Thanks Pinterest) but it was super exciting! A bar of Ivory sop, wax paper and a microwave make a cloud! The students loved, loved, loved this!! It was a great week to study weather considering we've had sun, rain, and snow in one week! Crazy!!!
