Lesson Plan - Weather

This lesson plan aims to educate students about cloud types, severe weather, and safety. It involves three phases: an introduction linking cloud pictures to definitions; a main activity having students apply their knowledge in a picnic game scenario; and a conclusion reviewing key themes. The plan details timing, objectives, teaching points, required materials and pictures for each phase. Student engagement is emphasized through interactive games and a debrief focused on what they learned rather than simply restating instructor points.
