Third Grade

Project Description: After examining the impact of weather hazards on communities, students were prompted to consider the necessary understandings in order to design robust structures. With a focus on temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns, students collected weather data from a variety of sources, including firsthand observational data. By examining these patterns, students are able to make predictions about weather conditions in the future. Through a collaboration with a representative from a local architectural firm, they leveraged meteorological knowledge to design houses capable of withstanding certain weather hazards based on the climate of the residence.
