5E Instructional Model Plan:

What is Climate? 5E Instructional Model Plan

Plan for teaching about climate using the 5E Instructional Model as a framework.

5-7 days

Students learn about climate zones by collecting precipitation and temperature data from various climate zones around the world. After reading a text about climate and climate categories, students attempt to identify the climate category to which each location they explored belongs. Students then test out their ideas and misconceptions about climate and weather by reading a series of statements and classifying them as statements about either climate or weather.
