Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Describe the stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection
  • Explain what common weather instruments are used for
  • Use weather terms to write a newscast script

Teaching tips

  • The temperature provocation needs two rooms or spaces set to different temperatures, and the water cycle demonstration uses beakers of hot water with steel lids, so both need setting up ahead of time.
  • The weather-instruments activity links to a YouTube video, so internet access is needed in the classroom.

Skills covered

  • Observing and recording — students note what they see and wonder about in seasonal and weather pictures
  • Predicting function — students examine pictures of weather instruments and record what each might measure
