Look! It Is Going to Rain
Trundle, Kathy Cabe; Sackes, Mesut
Science and Children, v47 n8 p29-31 Apr 2010
It is important to help young children make connections between events in their lives and science concepts in preschool classrooms, so introducing basic meteorology ideas offer a great opportunity to make weather connections and awaken scientific curiosity (Spiropoulou, Kostopoulos, and Jacovides 1999). Therefore, this article presents a science lesson that provides opportunities for children to make observations of clouds--about their shape, size, color, abundance in the sky, and connection to rain.
