Weather & Climate Wheel
Weather is science students can see out the window, which makes it a favourite unit. Spin for a phenomenon — thunderstorms, fog, the seasons — and have students explain what causes it, or assign it as a topic to research.

Weather & Climate Wheel questions
Is this weather or climate?
Both — the defaults mix day-to-day weather with bigger climate topics. Edit the list to focus on one, so it fits exactly where you are in the unit.
Can younger classes use it?
Yes — keep it to the simple weather types and use it to build vocabulary and discussion. Older classes can take on hurricanes, fronts, and climate change.
