In this lesson, students will understand how energy from the sun serves as a source of light that warms the Earth. They will also investigate how different surfaces of the earth absorb different amounts of the sun's energy. Students will take temperature readings at a variety of locations.

In this lesson, students will investigate how convection happens in the atmosphere and how this affects weather on Earth.

In this lesson, students will be introduced to thermometers and will practice taking temperature readings in different locations indoors and outside.

In this lesson, students will create a log book to keep track of daily weather observations.

This lesson teaches students about heat transfer and introduces them to the three types of heat transfer - convection, radiation, and conduction. Students will then apply their understanding to weather.

In this lesson, students will model the kinetic energy of molecules in a substance and how this is affected by heat.
