Soon we will dive into the study of Weather, and we have compiled a list of our favorite resources to share with you!
Of course, our favorite hands-on resource is our 5-week Weather Bundle. If you are new to us, our science bundles include a Parent Guide chock full of discussion starters to help you guide a meaningful conversation based on the Scientific Method, scientific background to read aloud, connections to Scripture, and, of course, instructions for fun, and easily achievable, hands-on projects. Our bundles also include Student Lab Notebook, where students can hypothesize, record data, and interact with Scripture.
Classical Conversations families will be especially excited to know that each week is specifically designed to match up with Cycle 1 memory work! (For a complete Cycle 1 match-up, check out our 21/22 School Year Pack!)
Here are some of the other general Weather resources that we love! Our 5-week Weather Bundle includes additional resource ideas that match-up specifically with each week for additional help!
*Note: Many of these resources have been personally reviewed by me, but not all.
