Synopsis

  • This 4-part lab begins with students taking a walk outside to observe and reflect on nature, then students identify some local plants, describe clouds, and make connections between weather, climate, and the environment.
  • Students will also use their math skills to graph climate data, think critically about how weather and climate affect living organisms, and have the opportunity to focus on the climate in their local area.
  • This is the first lab in the Climate and the Biosphere unit.
