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 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!
