Explore the power of extreme weather with this Extreme Weather PDF Unit Study!

Please Note: This is a digital product. No physical materials, books, or supplies are included. Families will provide their own books and activity supplies using the included shopping and supply lists.

This unit study invites kids to discover the science behind storms, weather patterns, and the atmosphere. Through hands-on experiments and interactive projects, learners will explore the layers of the atmosphere, the water cycle, clouds, severe storms, and the job of a meteorologist.

Your kids will explore weather science and earth systems through activities like:

  • Exploring the layers of the atmosphere
  • Investigating the water cycle
  • Creating a cloud in a jar
  • Making thunder and lightning process art
  • Building a tornado in a bottle
  • Simulating a hailstorm
  • Designing a flood-proof building
  • Creating their own weather forecast

And more!

Whether they're building weather experiments, creating storm art, or forecasting the weather, your learners will develop a deeper understanding of Earth's weather systems—and have fun doing it.

This PDF unit study includes 25+ activities, organized into eight easy-to-follow, open-and-go lessons. Schoolhouse Discoveries hands-on unit studies are designed for homeschool families and can serve as a core Science and Social Studies curriculum for grades K–4 or a supplement for 5–6th grade. Each unit also weaves in Language Arts, Math, Art, STEM, Sensory Play, Cooking, Health, and Movement.

By using multiple themed units throughout the year, families can build a complete, well-rounded curriculum rooted in hands-on, family-style learning.

It is recommended that you obtain fiction and nonfiction supplemental books about weather to go along with this unit study, as suggested on the supplemental booklist. Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco and Feel the Wind by Arthur Dorros are two titles that are specifically suggested in this unit study.

Learning Tips

We’ve divided the learning experiences into eight sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit. The activities in this kit were designed for K to 4th graders. But we know kids are at all different levels and interests, so feel free to skip or add-to an activity if it isn’t right for your child(ren). That’s what Schoolhouse Discoveries are all about - having fun learning and finding ways that best fit your needs.
