Exploring Weather Patterns with Code
by Alexis Wilson
This lesson plan integrates science and technology, making coding accessible and fun for 3rd graders. It helps them understand weather patterns while engaging with technology. It aligns with Arizona's 3rd grade science standard 3.E1U1.4 and technology standard 3.DI.2 by developing a model that describes weather patterns and using technology to create a useful simulation. Differentiation strategies ensure all students, including those who may struggle, receive the support they need to succeed.
