Power Standard

Power Standard 9: As students make and record observations about the weather, they will determine its effects on living organisms and recognize that water can change from one form to another.

Here is a lesson that could be used to help students who are struggling with the effects of weather on the things around them. This lesson has the students to look at the world around them and describe what changes occur during each season. It discusses everything from the clothes we wear to the food we eat during each season. It also helps students to connect with the season through the different holidays that occur during each season.

This lesson would help my struggling student because it keeps him moving and thinking rather than just sitting at his desk doing worksheets. It also gives the teacher plenty of opportunities to ask the students questions which would keep him awake not knowing when the teacher may call on him. It also gives the studnets the oppertunity to tell stories about their lives and things they do during each season and the struggling student in my classroom also wants to tell me stories about the things he did over the weekend.
