Grade 5

Subject

Science

Class Size

20 students

Length of Lesson

30 minutes

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Grade 5, specifically focusing on Earth's systems and the role of weather.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce the topic of weather. Engage students with questions about different weather conditions they have experienced.
2	Explanation of Weather	10	Explain the components of weather: temperature, precipitation, wind, and humidity. Use visuals to enhance understanding.
3	Group Activity	10	Divide the class into small groups. Each group uses a thermometer, rain gauge, and wind vane to measure weather conditions outside for 10 minutes.
4	Discussion	3	Bring the class back together and discuss the observations they made in their groups. Encourage sharing of findings without formal presentations.
5	Homework Assignment	2	Assign students to record the weather conditions at home for the next week and observe any changes. Provide a worksheet for them to fill out.

Assessment

• Students will complete a short quiz on weather components after the lesson.
• Review the homework sheets submitted in the next class to ensure understanding of weather patterns without formal presentations.

Additional Notes

• Ensure that all materials are set up and ready for the group activity to maximize time efficiency.
• Encourage students to ask questions throughout the lesson to keep engagement levels high.
• Consider individual learning needs and adjust the pace of the lesson as required.
