Reports 2004 Mr. Buckman's Second Grade Class |
| Our final second grade
science unit studies the topics of air and weather. In order to gain a
better understanding of how weather cycles and changes, each student is
responsible to create and present a weather report. To do this the
students must use map skills, use technology to access useful information
on the Internet, read and interpret weather information (such as
temperature and sky conditions) and make a presentation that uses public
speaking skills to communicate their ideas with others.
Predicting weather is often a difficult thing to do, even for professional meteorologists. The students in our class have worked carefully in order to put together a weather report that is correct as possible. Since this is the students' first time making a weather report, some unintentional errors may occur. If you need to find the most current weather for the Metro-Detroit area, try looking at any of the following professional Internet weather sites: National Weather Service - Detroit, Fox 2 News Five Day Forecast, WDIV Weather - Big Picture, WXYZ DetroitNow Weather, Intellicast - Four Day Forecast for Detroit, Michigan, USA Today Forecasts - Detroit, Michigan or Accuweather(R) from The Freep (Detroit Free Press on-line). The students are interested in what you think of their reports.
