| 3 | Class Activity | 10 | Divide students into small groups. Provide them with weather data charts and have them practice recording measurements from hypothetical weather scenarios. |
| 4 | Research & Discussion | 10 | Allow students to use their devices to research current weather conditions in different areas. Encourage discussion on how local weather affects daily life. |
| 5 | Interpretation of Data | 5 | Teach students how to interpret weather forecasts. Discuss how to read a simple weather map. |
| 6 | Review and Q&A | 5 | Summarize key points of the lesson and address any questions students may have about meteorology or the instruments discussed. |
| 7 | Homework Assignment | 5 | Assign students to observe the weather for a week and track daily conditions using a provided chart. Collect the charts at the next lesson for assessment. |
Check homework submissions by collecting the weather observation charts without the need for student presentations. Provide individual feedback as needed.
Students' understanding will be assessed through the completion of the homework assignment and their participation during group activities.
