Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
interdisciplinary unit on the general topic of the weather will incorporate math, earth science, writing, geography, reading and computer skills. The unit further meets California standards in that it requires
cooperative team work, problem solving and critical thinking. The weather is a frequent topic of conversation among children and adults but few have an understanding of the many different aspects
of the weather. This unit will provide students with knowledge about a number of events and factors associated with the weather. Students will learn to compare patterns and gain an
understanding of specific kinds of events. Lesson 1: Temperature - Here and Across the World Outcomes: Students will gain an appreciation for the vastly different types of weather
in the world and they will be able to describe the differences between and among three regions in the world. Students will compare temperatures in three cities on three separate
continents. Activities: * Students will use local media to collect high and low temperatures daily for one week for their own home city/town [Reading, listening, math, earth science]. *
Students will use the Web site www.weather.com to collect high and low temperatures for two cities, such as New Delhi and Moscow [Information/computer technology, reading, analyzing, earth science, geography]. The
teacher could use cities and continents that are being studied in social studies to link the lessons. * Students, after instruction, will draw a timeline that shows the distribution of
the temperatures in the three cities [Math, earth science]. * Students will calculate the differences in the daily high and low temperatures in the three cities and then, calculate the
average low temperatures and the average high temperatures for each city [Math, earth science]. * In small cooperative groups, students will speculate about how the difference in temperatures affects
