This video is a great introduction to the unit on how to prepare for weather. Students are able to see what the weather looks like and can put a visual to key vocabulary words that will be used in the lessons. Many students at this age can really benefit from visuals like this and will retain information because they enjoy watching the video.

Accuweather is a great resource to show students so that they can see the different weather that is happening around the world. This is good for students who may have never travelled or for students who have travelled a lot and may have some input on what weather is like in another state/country.

It is important to include read aloud and activities that all students are able to relate to. That is why I like this "weather around the world" book. Even if a student is not from the U.S. they are able to connect to the lesson because they weather they may have experienced in another country is included in the lesson.

When talking about severe weather it is also important to talk about what happens when severe weather comes to a place we live. Using the National Weather Services is a great resource to see what states/countries are having severe weather and have conversations about how those places can prepare for the severe weather.

What are Severe Weather Conditions?

Teaching your kindergarteners about climate conditions is an important part of their science education. Here are a few examples of different extreme weather conditions and the benefits of learning about them.

Tornadoes

Tornadoes are powerful, swirling columns of air. They can destroy homes and uproot trees. Understanding them helps kids stay safe if one occurs nearby.

Hurricanes

Hurricanes are huge storms that form when they pass over warm ocean waters. They bring strong winds and heavy rain that can also cause flooding.

Blizzards

Blizzards are winter storms with strong winds and heavy snowfall. They can make traveling dangerous and also can cause power outages.

Thunderstorms

The scary thunderstorms bring lightning, heavy rain, and sometimes hail! They can also cause flash flooding, which makes the experience even more frightening.

Teaching kids about the weather gives them knowledge that can keep them safe, reduce anxiety, and foster a sense of preparedness and resilience.
