This weather research project is a fun, hands-on, engaging way to bring research and writing about the weather into your classroom! Through whole-group research, the use of anchor charts, graphic organizers, and writing activities, students will be weather experts! Included with each type of weather is a writing piece, or a science experiment or an art project. The art projects are purposefully vague so that your students can create their own works of art without patterns, which provides a more authentic learning experience! This resource makes research and writing simple and fun for all grades PreK-5!
