Lesson+5+-+Weather+vs.+Climate!

** Lesson #: 5 ** ** Title of Lesson: ** Weather Vs. Climate!

** Description of Lesson: **  In this lesson we are comparing and contrasting weather and climate. We are also going to continue our work with Web Tools!

** Assignment **:   *Make a list of things that only relate to weather *Do the same for climate *Make a list of things that are the same for BOTH *Put this all into a Web Tool!

We are using our Web Tools to go beyond what we already know how to do!

They are also getting more experience with manipulating the tools since they have to use a different style this time.

I also am glad that I have been able to incorporate skills beyond science into this lesson. They are developing their literacy skills as well as their technological ones! I am also extremely happy with the Tool I found. I really liked the idea of a compare and contrast, and found a great tool to do so with, however I could not get it to work. After some more looking around, I came across this tool, and I love it! I can't wait for the students to use it because it is so much fun! I think they will have a lot more fun doing something new while still doing the same work they would be if I had them using a regular venn diagram.
