Manitoba Grade 5 Weather & Climate Unit

Teach the weather and climate outcomes of Manitoba's renewed Grade 5 Science (SCI.5.E.9 to E.12) through ten inquiry lessons: what weather is, how the Sun's energy drives it, air pressure, wind, water vapour, clouds and precipitation, the water cycle, groundwater, forecasting, climate, and the natural and human causes of climate change, ending with a Weather Watch Report. The ZIP holds 77 editable PowerPoint slides with speaker notes, a 77-page student workbook, an 88-page accommodated edition with the same question numbers and answer key, a 37-page teacher guide with answer keys and a rubric on Manitoba's report-card scale, and a one-page START HERE guide. The sample shows Winnipeg's 1991 to 2020 temperature normals and the class weather log. Limits: it covers the weather and climate outcomes only and has no classroom interactive; the jar barometer and paper anemometer show changes, not calibrated readings; climate change is taught at a Grade 5 level, without climate models. Written by an Ontario Certified Teacher; not reviewed or endorsed by Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning.
