Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Weather and Climate	5 mins	Briefly introduce the topic. Show a PowerPoint slide explaining the difference between weather (short-term atmospheric conditions) and climate (long-term patterns).
2	Weather Phenomena Overview	10 mins	Present visual aids (images/videos) of various weather phenomena (e.g., rain, snow, thunderstorms). Discuss characteristics and causes of each.
3	Group Activity: Weather Terms	10 mins	Divide students into small groups. Provide worksheets with weather terminology. Each group lists and discusses terms, preparing to share with the class.
4	Class Discussion and Q&A	3 mins	Facilitate a class discussion on students' findings from group activity. Encourage questions and clarify concepts.
5	Homework Assignment	2 mins	Assign homework: students will write a short paragraph describing their local climate and one way it has been affected by climate change, due next class.

Homework Check Procedure
