What do we know about the weather?

﻿Hi everyone and welcome back to another science lesson. My name is Ms. Harris, and I'm really excited to see you today. We are going to be learning all about how the weather changes across the seasons. Now you may have noticed I am in somewhere. I'm in a very special place. Where am I, can you see? I'm in Elsa's frozen castle. Because today we're learning about how the weather changes across the seasons. And I thought, what better place to be than a frozen castle in the middle of the winter? So that's where our science lesson is going to take place today. Let's take a look at what we are learning about today. So we're going to first look at drawings of a scientist. We're then going to analyse the weather. We're going to look at how the weather is different in the seasons. We're going to do our first experiment. Yes, I'm so excited! And then we're going to do our end of lesson quiz. Now you sent in so many of your wonderful pictures of scientists, all your drawings. And you can see here, there are a variety of drawings, both male and female. I was so impressed to see that you do not think that a scientist is just a male because scientists can be female and male. They can be girls and boys. Because usually people think that a scientist looks like this, the crazy hair scientist, a man in a white lab coat. But scientists can look just like me and just like you. A scientist doesn't have to look like a crazy man, a crazy scientist like that. You might be able to spot your picture. And if you can you give yourself a little pat on the back. But I did receive lots and lots of pictures of scientists and I couldn't include all of them. So next time, if you send me your work, I might be able to include it in my next video. So take a look here. We have got a variety of pictures here. Really great to see. At the end of the lesson today, I'm going to be reading some stories about some female scientists who saved the planet. So look out for that right at the end of the lesson. Today, you will need an exercise book, a pencil, a green pen or a coloured pencil, and your weather drawing from last week. If you don't have the drawing you did last week, don't worry. You can just try and remember what the weather was like outside when you did your first science observation of the weather, okay? Pause the video and go and get these things if you don't have them already. Let's think about what is a scientist? Can you remember what a scientist is? Can you take 10 seconds to try and remember? And I want you to tell your screen what a scientist is. Okay, let's check. So a scientist is a person who studies the world around us, including living things or non-living things. Fantastic. So that means that scientists can study almost everything around us. This is our 100% sheet. So we are learning about lots of things today that's on here's. We're looking at the seasons, we will be looking at the order of the seasons, but we will be using some representations like this in the middle, like the picture of the trees. We're going to remind ourselves what it looks like when you're in each season, when we have each season. I would like you to stand up behind your chair. Now we're going to do our star words. I'm ready. My turn, then your turn. Star words, star words, star words! Spring, your turn, spring. Summer, your turn. Autumn, make the leaves fall with your fingers, autumn. Winter, ooh. Stormy. Thunder, you can make a zig-zag with your hand like a lightning bolt, thunder. Foggy, when it's foggy you can't really see outside, the clouds come really low, foggy. Windy. And we'll do sunny again, sunny. Great. Sit back down again in three, two, one. Very fast. So I would like you to do your first observation. On your piece of paper can you go and draw a picture of what the weather looks like outside? Draw what you can see. Pause the video and have a go at doing that now. Great, well done. So using our picture that you drew last week, so using the picture you drew last week and the picture that you have drawn this week, I would like you to put them next to each other, okay? Side by side. So you have your picture from this week and your picture from last week. I would like you to write two sentences about your picture, about each picture, what the weather is like specifically. So you are going to use the star words to help you. Here is my example that I wrote about the weather. So last week the weather was cold and rainy. This week, the weather is bright and sunny. Can you have a go at writing two sentences? You can start them last week the weather was mm and mm. This week the weather is mm and mm. Have a go at completing that now. Great job. We now need to recap the seasons. There are four seasons. What is the first season? The first season is spring, you're right. The next season is, say it to your screen, summer. After summer we have autumn, and then after autumn we have, great! Let's check. So in the springtime, it's sunny, it's bright, there's lots of new life, there's blossoming flowers, the trees are really green because their leaves have just grown and they're really fresh. And it's often quite warm, but it can also rain. It's not always sunny in spring. In the summer, it's sunny, hot and bright. But again, it can still rain in the summertime, but it's mostly sunny and hot. In autumn it gets a little bit chilly and the leaves are falling off the trees and it can rain quite a lot in autumn. And in winter, maybe you could build a castle like Elsa out of the cold and snow, out of the cold snow. In the winter it's cold, it sometimes snows and it rains quite a lot in the winter. Here is a picture from Navea. She drew this last week. I love how clearly she has drawn each season here. There's a clear distinction between autumn where she's got the leaves falling off the trees. She's drawn a snowman and even a sun in the summer. She's drawn lots of labels on there, like a real scientist pointing out what is in the picture. So great job, Navea. Here we can see some pictures of the seasons. We're going to say them in order. Are you ready? You're going to help me. Ready? You can see Ms. Harris there in each season. You ready? The first one is spring. Did you say it? The next season is summer, good. The next season is autumn, good. The next season is winter, fantastic. What types of weather can you remember? What types of weather can you remember? What weather do you know? Can you tell your screen? So I know weather that is sunny or hot or rainy, windy, what else? Take a look at this picture here. So we've got sunny, rainy, snowy, cloudy, hailing, hot, cold, warm, icy, frosty, wet, dry, clear, windy, foggy. There are a few more like stormy. I don't think stormy is on there, or thundering, thundering, lightning. Give yourself a self-five like this if you said one of those on there. You can give yourself more than one if you said more than one type of weather. Here is a picture of spring, I would like you to try and have a look really carefully at the photo of spring. What weather can we use to describe spring? Look at the word map next to the picture to help you. What weather can we use to describe spring? So in spring, the weather can be mm. So in spring, the weather can be cloudy, it could be a little bit sunny cause sometimes it's cloudy, sunny, it can be bright, there's lots of new life being grown, there's lots of flowers blossoming as well. Let's take a look at some that you could have said. So you may have said rainy. You may have said bright and sunny. And you may have said warm, which is on our word map. I've put sunny and rainy on there. In your books, I would like you to write down the number three, and I would like you to write three descriptions of the weather in spring. So that means you're going to write three things that you can see on our word map that describe the weather in spring. So pause the video and have a go at that now. Well done. Now let's take a look at the weather in the summer. What weather can we use to describe summer? The weather in the summer is mm and mm. The weather in the summer is, look at the word map. Shall we see? So only I've got the weather is sunny, bright, and hot. You can see that this person's wearing a swimsuit. Now, do you think it's always sunny in the summer? We can still have rainy days in the summer, but it's mostly the weather is sunny and hot. Can you write down three descriptions to describe the weather? So three things. Your first one might be sunny. Great, well done. What weather can we use to describe autumn? Take a look at the word map. We've just done this type of question. So the weather in autumn can be mm and mm. See, the weather can be rainy, it could be chilly, it can be windy as well because the leaves are falling off the trees, they're getting blown off the trees. Can you write the number five down on your piece of paper or in your book and write down three descriptions of the weather in autumn? Pause the video. Okay, last one. What weather can we use to describe winter? The weather in winter can be mm and mm. Your turn. Look at the word map. Okay, let's have a look. Snowy, the weather can be snowy, icy, and foggy. Did you say any of those? Did you say something different? You could have said rainy or cold as well. Definitely, I would have said those too. On your piece of paper, write down three descriptions of the weather in winter. Well done for completing that question. Now time for the exciting bit, the experiment. This is what we've all been waiting for. But first we need to talk about safety because when scientists do experiments, they wear lots of protective clothing to keep themselves safe when doing experiments. So, conducting experiments. So a scientist needs to wear special clothing to protect themselves while conducting experiments. Now I know that you know what a scientist must wear. It's something on him. Do you know what, it's called a, it's white, it's called a lab coat. Did you get it right? Great. They also need to wear protective eyewear to protect their eyes. A lab coat is made of special material that when you spill something on there, it gets sucked up into the material, it's absorbed and it doesn't go onto your skin underneath. Because sometimes scientists work with chemicals that can burn your skin so they need to wear a lab coat to keep them safe. They wear protective eyewear to keep their eyes nice and safe. They use closed-toe shoes. They use, they use, closed toe shoes or shoes like you can see here, where your toes are not sticking out of the front. Can you think of some shoes that you can wear that you put them on like this and your foot, your toes go between something. Do you know what they're called? They're called flip-flops. Flip-flops are open toed shoes. You wouldn't want to wear them in a science lab in case you spill something on your foot. So scientists wear these types of shoes. And lastly, they wear gloves to protect their hands. Because if you're a biologist, which is a type of scientist, if they are dissecting an animal, that means they've got an animal on their table and they're looking inside at its body parts, they need to wear gloves otherwise they're going to get lots of things on their fingers. Let's take a look at what experiment I would like you to conduct this week. So scientists, when they do experiments, they sometimes observe whether things change. So this week, your experiment is to observe the weather outside every day for seven days or one week, to see whether the weather changes. Because we're in the season of spring, and I would like you to find out how much the weather changes within one week. So a scientist does this, and you're going to be a scientist. You could wear a lab coat if you want to. You might not have a proper lab coat, but you could wear something that's white. And you can share a picture with me on Twitter to show me your wonderful lab coat that you've made. It could be just a white shirt. Maybe your mum or dad or your brothers or sisters have got a white shirt that you could borrow and pretend it's a lab coat. First, you need to look out of your window. Then you need to draw a picture of the weather. Then you're going to label what you see. And lastly, you're going to compare it to the day before. In a moment, you're going to see a video of me showing you how to make your weather logbook and how to do your experiment. Can you help me put on my lab coat? Because I'm going to show you how to do the experiment and I need my lab coat. Are you ready? You are going to say safety first. You're going to shout it, let's practise. Safety first. Shout it really loud. Safety fast! Okay, you ready? Three, two, one. It worked! Oh my goodness, thank you so much. Now I've got my lab coat on, I'm ready to do my experiment. Let's take a look. So to make your weather logbook, I've just got a few pieces of paper here, I've got three pieces of paper. And all I'm going to do is I'm going to put them on top of each other, make them a little pile like this, and then I'm just going to fold them into a book like this. So now I've got my book. I'm going to write weather log on the top. Weather log. Okay, so I'm going to draw Monday's on here. Monday, Tuesday. I'm going to go all the way up to Sunday in my book. Okay. We're going to pretend that today it's, let's do Tuesday. So I'm going to make sure I've got Tuesday's part of my book here. Let's go and have a look at the weather outside. The weather outside is really sunny. It's really bright. It's not very windy and I know it's not windy because the trees are not moving and I can see that it's quite peaceful outside. It's a really lovely spring afternoon. So I've drawn my picture now for Tuesday. Today's experiment is finished. You've worked really, really hard. You should be so proud of yourself. Now it's time to complete your end of lesson quiz. But have a lovely rest of your day and I will see you next time.

You have done an amazing job analysing the weather today. Let's retrieve knowledge from your wonderful brain and see how much you have learned!

Which season is it likely to be sunny and hot? You might need to wear suncream.

Which season is it likely to be rainy, sunny and bright? Flowers bloom in this season.

Which season is it likely to be rainy, chilly and windy? The leaves fall off the trees during this season.

Which season is it likely to be snowy, cold and icy? You could build a snowman!

How does the weather change across the seasons?

In this lesson, we are going to be looking at more detailed impressions of what scientists are and look like. This will help us begin our lesson, then we will look at understanding how the weather changes across seasons. We will be reminding ourselves of the different types of weather and comparing this to the seasons. Lastly, we will be beginning our first scientific experiment! You will need a pencil, piece of paper and your weather drawing from last week. Let's get started.
