50+ Ideas for Your Meteorology Unit Study

 

Hands-On Learning

Tornado in a Bottle:

Fill a mason jar 3/4 of the way full with water and add 3-4 drops of blue food coloring. Next add a teaspoon of white vinegar and a teaspoon of blue dish soap. Secure the lid tightly. Using a steady motion, move your wrist in circles and watch a tornado form!

Cotton Ball Clouds:

Create the different types of clouds using cotton balls. Glue the clouds onto a piece of blue construction paper for an easy art project that’s ready to hang.

DIY Weather Vane:

Weather vanes are incredibly helpful when learning through a meteorology unit study but they can be expensive to purchase. Follow these easy instructions to create your own using items you probably already have on hand.

Wally The Weather Dog:

Add to you weather unit study with this fun Wally the Weather Dog activity. He will make weather stations much more exciting for your younger kids.

Create a Rainbow:

Head outdoors and draw a huge rainbow on the pavement using sidewalk chalk. Teach kids the order of colors using the ROY G BIV method. (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)

Rainbow Crafts:

No matter what the age, we’ve found something for everyone with our rainbow crafts! Head over to check it out!
