Weather Types Project for Kids: Predict the Weather Through Patterns, Factors, and Math
☔️ Kids can experience what it’s like to be meteorologists with this TYPES OF WEATHER project.
☔️ It’s perfect for kids who need more than just facts thrown at them. Using critical thinking and an engaging storyline, kids will determine what factors create each common weather type…just like a meteorologist does!
☔️ There’s even a bit of math involved. Kids will record their weather on a bar graph, determine which type occurs the most, and form that information into a math sentence.
☔️ Once they’ve chosen their weather types, they’ll sketch a picture of it. This art incorporation is key to unlocking the right side of our kiddos’ brains!
☔️ At the end, they’ll have a completed WEATHER CHAIN they can hang outside and enjoy!

“So what weather factors make a hailstorm?”
This question didn’t come from one of my students. It actually came from a child playing in the park who I didn’t know!
One of my third grade online students would take his online class to a local park. The outdoor environment and lots of space to move made it the perfect place for his neurodiverse brain to learn well.
While we were learning all about weather patterns and types, a couple of kids became interested! They stopped playing and popped over to see what this teacher was all about. THEY ENDED UP STAYING FOR THE WHOLE 45 MINUTE CLASS!
So when one of these kids asked the question above, I had to answer!
That’s the magic of art-inspired, project-based learning. It is interesting to children naturally, even when there’s a whole playground to play on instead.
So what’s included?
-Weather Type project with custom-designed Project Pieces
-Teacher and Student Guides on how to make the project
-Learning Pages introducing and developing the NGSS topics through an animal story
-Exit Ticket and Answer Key
