Innovative Teaching Materials about Weather and Seasons in Elementary School

Teach weather and seasons vividly, with movement, and lots of fun using innovatively designed teaching materials. Research kits, experiments on weather, annual calendars, and much more - this way, science lessons can be made exciting with little effort and a wide range of teaching materials. With our teaching materials, elementary school students can learn together in class, in pairs, or independently. They are age-appropriate, curriculum-based, and easy to use. In addition, our teaching materials can be used across subjects and topics. Take your time to browse our online range and get inspired for lesson planning.

Weather and seasons can also be observed particularly well outdoors. Especially with the seasons, projects can be developed over a longer period that combine theoretical knowledge with direct experiences in nature. Seasons are a topic in many subjects in elementary school, as many seasonal decorations are also crafted. Expand your lessons with imaginative ideas and products: With TimeTEX, you provide your students with moments of insight!

In science lessons, weather can be well combined with other topics of the subject. Possible combinations include the water cycle or even traffic education. In the context of traffic education, for example, you can address the mutual influence of weather and traffic. Likewise, the topic is suitable for interdisciplinary teaching: writing weather reports in German class, measuring precipitation and temperature in math class, or crafting a seasonal tree in art class.

Elementary School: Weather - What is it?

Weather is omnipresent in our everyday lives. However, very few can explain or understand weather phenomena. For this reason, it is important to introduce weather to children already in elementary school. In short: Weather describes the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place. Seen in this way, there is not just one weather, but almost infinitely many different types of weather. It can be observed and felt directly and constantly changes. There are a variety of meteorological causes that influence the weather, such as the impact of the sun, cloud cover, or precipitation. In addition, temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction are part of it.

Before starting with weather in elementary school science lessons, it is good to exchange prior experiences and develop questions together in class. Then it is important to clarify important terms such as weather, climate, and temperature and to distinguish between them.

Why Weather and Seasons in Elementary School?

When it comes to weather in science lessons in elementary school, your students should learn about the causes that influence our weather and climate: sun, temperature, precipitation, humidity, air pressure, cloud cover, wind. But also weather phenomena should be introduced to the children. With illustrative teaching materials, students should playfully learn about the connection between temperatures and seasons. Likewise, an understanding of climate change and ecological environmental awareness should be promoted. This way, the little ones learn important basic knowledge, but also expanded backgrounds about weather in elementary school.

What does the topic of Weather in Science Lessons include?

Weather and the associated temperatures
Water cycle
Impact of seasons throughout the year
Human beings and weather
Difference between weather and climate
Extremes and special weather events
