Obtain and combine information to describe climate patterns in different regions of the world.
The South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Science Standards (2021) outcome 3-ESS2-2 (Earth and Space Sciences) for Grade 3 says: “Obtain and combine information to describe climate patterns in different regions of the world.” This Fieldbook unit teaches it hands-on, with everyday materials and a printable teacher guide and student sheet for every lesson. Official wording: South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Science Standards (2021).
Monsoon Science: Rain, Sun and the Nón Lá Grades 3–4
Science and English together, for English learners (CEFR A2–B1). Why is the Vietnamese nón lá shaped like a cone? Students build paper hats, test them in 'monsoon rain' and 'midday sun', and find the best shape for a rice farmer.
- How does a nón lá keep a rice farmer dry? 60 min, or two 35-minute periods
Science and English together, for English learners at CEFR A2–B1. Teams build paper cone hats of three shapes, test them under 'monsoon rain' and 'midday sun', and measure how far each one sends the water and how much shade it makes. Then they design the best hat for a rice farmer.
