Weather Unit

    This thematic weather unit was created for a second grade level. It was designed to integrate the subject areas of the second grade curriculum. The four science components of the unit are: temperature, precipitation, wind direction, and wind speed. Before developing this unit, I researched what educators and researchers had to say about thematic units and prepared a summary of findings. I then wrote a reaction to thematic units. Below are the areas of interest included in the weather unit:
