For the grown-up
Each lesson takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Big idea
Sky and air warmth are two things we can observe.
Words
- warm not cold to feel
- cold not warm to feel
- air what is around us
- thermometer tool that shows temperature
Talk together
- How does the air feel?
- Which picture shows your feeling?
- Can the sky be sunny and cold?
Get ready
- Weather cards, warm and cold thermometer cards, optional non-glass outdoor thermometer read by an adult.
Safety
- A grown-up stays close. Never look at the Sun; use hats, sunscreen and shade breaks. The adult checks surfaces first; do not touch anything hot.
- A grown-up chooses a safe accessible route and stays close; hold hands near streets. Stay away from traffic, wildlife, unknown plants and standing water; use photos indoors if needed.
Story time
How to help
Let your child listen, look and try before you explain. Point to the next picture if needed. Accept drawing, pointing or a voice response; writing is optional. Save the child’s own work with a date.
