How to use this study with your child
There are 3 parts to this study:
*a copywork/drawing page
*an activity page
*a lapbook portion in the back
Copywork/drawing page
At the top of each copywork/drawing page, there is a box with a weather related
sentence inside. It tells your child what to draw. Next, there is a short paragraph to
read to your child or that your child can read. Last, there is a sentence that your
child reads and then copies on the provided lines in his/her best handwriting.
The water that we have here on earth is in limited quality. The water moves from the ocean to the air to the land and back again. The endless movement of water in nature is called the water cycle. You can break the cycle down into four main parts; evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
What is a Water Cycle?
Draw a picture of a water cycle.
Nature uses its sources over and over again. The water changes from liquid to a gas or a solid.
Sample Lesson
Activity Page
After each major weather topic, there is a fun activity for your child to do that will
further his/her understanding of the that weather concept.

Things to Know
Hamburger Fold-Fold horizontally Hotdog Fold-Fold vertically
Dotted Lines-These are the cutting lines.
Accordion Fold-This fold is like making a paper fan. Fold on the first line so that title is on top.
Turn over and fold on next line so that title is on top again. Turn over again and fold again on the
next line so that title is on top. Continue until all folds are done.
Cover Labels-Most of the booklets that are folded look nicer with a label on top instead of just a
blank space. They will be referred to as “cover label.”
Folder 1
This placement key tells you the template goes in the first folder at the top
of the left flap.
How do I know where to place each template in the folder?
Folding a Lapbook Base
Gather the number of folders required for the
project. Fold them flat as seen here.
Original fold line
For each folder, fold the left and right sides
inward toward the original line to create two
flaps. Crease so that the highest part of each
flap is touching the original line. It is important
not to let the two flaps overlap. You may want to
take a ruler and run it down each crease to
make it sharper.

What is a Meteorologist?
Draw a picture of a meteorologist telling the weather
A meteorologist is a person who uses science to explain weather. Many meteorologists have jobs on television. They help us to know what kind of weather we will be having.
I can learn about the weather in my city from the meteorologist on T.V.

Make a Rain Gauge
It is fun to see how much rain falls from the sky. By making a rain gauge, you can
actually see how much has fallen over a day, a week, or even a whole month.
Take a two-liter bottle and soak it to remove the label on the bottle. With a
parent’s help, cut off the top. In the bottom of the bottle, place about 15 marbles
or small pebbles. With a waterproof marker, mark off inches on the outside of the
bottle. Place the rain gauge outside on a flat surface. After it rains, do a
measurement, record it on this sheet, and then pour the water out. Do the same
for the next rainfall. Continue until your sheet is finished. Write down any
observations as you go.

What are Clouds?
Draw a picture of clouds.
Clouds are made from many small droplets of ice crystals or water. They are so tiny and light in weight that they can float in the air. The reason that clouds are white in color is because they reflect the light of the sun. The sun contains all of the colors of the rainbow. When you add them all together you get white.

What are Cirrus Clouds?
Draw a picture of Cirrus clouds.
When you look up in the sky, the Cirrus clouds are probably the clouds that you will see. They are the most spotted of all the clouds. Up in the sky they look like thin, wispy clouds stretched out across the sky. They are usually white and made of ice. You can see them when the weather outside is calm.

Stratus clouds cover the entire sky. They look like gray fog up in the sky.
What are Stratus clouds?
Draw a picture of Stratus clouds.
Stratus clouds are entirely gray in color. They usually cover the entire sky. They look like fog up in the sky. Sometimes you will feel drops of rain falling from them.
