From our teachers' playbook

Be a weather scientist!

What do 2nd graders learn about weather?

Second graders measure and describe weather like real scientists. They read a thermometer, record temperature, rain and wind, and compare weather across days and seasons. They learn weather words like precipitation and forecast, and they explore severe weather and natural events such as hurricanes, tornadoes and floods, plus how people stay safe. The click moment comes when a child reads the thermometer and says, "It's 40 degrees, so I need my jacket!"

Our favorite ways to make weather stick

Weather lessons work best when kids collect real data. These moves turn them into forecasters.

Weather song warm-up

Start the day with the Weather Song, then have the weather helper report today's conditions. Kids love the routine, and the song keeps weather vocabulary fresh.

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Read the thermometer

Give each child a printable thermometer to color to a given temperature. Then check a real outdoor thermometer and compare. Practicing with a model makes reading the real one easy.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Flash card forecast

Flash weather cards and kids call out the word and one fact about it. Do a quick round a few days a week. Short retrieval keeps vocabulary strong all unit.

Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions teachers and parents ask

What do 2nd graders learn about weather?

They learn to observe and measure weather, read a thermometer, describe weather patterns, use weather vocabulary and understand severe weather and safety.

How do you read a thermometer for kids?

Find the top of the red or colored line and read the number next to it. Each line between numbers usually stands for 2 degrees.

What is the difference between weather and climate?

Weather is what's happening outside today. Climate is the usual weather in a place over many years.

What's a fun weather project for 2nd grade?

Keep a weather journal for two weeks, recording temperature, clouds and rain. Then graph the results and look for patterns.
