WEATHER Interactive Notebook - Fronts, Air Pressure, Tools, Predicting, Climate

I absolutely love interactive notebooks! Using them means I always have something meaningful for my students to complete or do. Lesson planning becomes much easier! Students have no choice but to become involved in the learning. What did we do without them all these years?

These science interactive pages cover WEATHER. The emphasis of the weather interactive pages are weather instruments (thermometer, wind vane, anemometer, barometer, rain gauge, hygrometer), types of fronts, (warm, cold, stationary), air pressure systems (high, low), types of extreme weather, (thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, droughts), predicating / forecasting weather, and climates.

There are also 16 information pages that go along with the interactive notebook pages!

I have also included many picture examples of what the interactive pages could look like. Although several of the pictures have answers, these are only to show what the page could look like after it is completed. There are no answer keys to the interactive notebook since students are given an opportunity to write many different, varied answers on the templates. The information pages may be used as suggested answers since they correlate with the interactive notebook pages.
