2. Weather patterns

1: Seasons
Due to the Earth's tilt, seasons occur in predictable weather patterns throughout the year. The four main seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter - are characterized by specific weather patterns and temperature changes.
Main Idea: Recognizing that different weather patterns and developments come with each season of the year.
2: Cloud Types
Water vapor in the air turns into tiny droplets or frozen crystals to create clouds. Different types of clouds exist, including cirrus, stratus, and cumulus, each having distinct characteristics and forms.
Key Idea: Identifying different types of clouds based on their visual characteristics and understanding their impact on weather phenomena.

1. Weather around the world

2. Weather and Daily Life

  1. Different Climates.
    Different parts of the world have varying climates due to factors such as latitude, elevation, distance from oceans, and prevailing wind currents. Temperatures range from temperate and arctic to subtropical and arid.
    Main Idea: Recognizing that the type of weather observed in different regions is impacted by the overall climate.
    2: Weather in Different Countries.
    Countries around the world experience different weather conditions based on where they are located geographically and the climate of their region. While certain countries experience high temperatures and drought, others may experience low temperatures and snowfall.
    Main Idea: Understanding that geographic factors influence the differences in weather conditions between different countries.
  1. Weather Activities
    The daily activities of people are influenced by the weather, whether they are inside or outside. Outdoor activities such as sports, hiking, picnics, and swimming are often planned based on favorable weather conditions. Conversely, in inclement weather, activities such as cooking, reading, and playing board games indoors may see an increase in popularity. The weather influences cultural events and celebrations, often causing festivals and gatherings to be rescheduled based on weather predictions.
    Main Idea: Recognizing the impact of weather on decision-making and future plans. This involves knowing which activities are suitable for specific weather conditions and considering the impact of weather forecasts on decision-making for those activities.
    2: Clothing and Weather
    To ensure comfort, safety, and protection from the elements, clothing choices are based on the weather conditions. Wearing multiple layers and thermal clothing is beneficial in chilly conditions to retain warmth, while lightweight, breathable outfits are ideal for staying cool in hot weather. In rainy conditions, it's best to wear clothing that can withstand the wind, while in windy conditions, it's advisable to opt for waterproof outerwear such as boots and raincoats. In addition, different climates and cultures can influence the fashion decisions and trends during different weather conditions.
    Main Idea: Recognizing the significance of dressing according to the climate conditions. This involves understanding how different clothing choices provide comfort and protection in different weather conditions, as well as considering the importance of cultural and personal preferences when selecting clothing.

2. Anemometers

Content: Temperature measuring devices are called thermometers. They are made up of a scale that shows the temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit and a bulb that holds a temperature-sensitive liquid (such as alcohol or mercury).
Key Concept: Recognizing the units used to express temperature and how thermometers measure it.

Anemometers are instruments utilized to measure the velocity and direction of wind. Typically, they consist of spinning cups connected to a device showing wind speed, such as a scale or gauge.
Main Idea: Grasping the function of anemometers in determining wind direction and speed.

Sub-topic 1: Sunny Weather

Content: Sunny weather is characterized by clear skies and abundant sunlight. It typically occurs when there are few or no clouds in the sky.

Key Concept: Understanding that sunny weather is associated with bright sunlight and warmth.

Sub-topic 2: Rainy Weather

Content: Rainy weather is characterized by precipitation in the form of raindrops falling from the sky. It occurs when moisture in the air condenses and forms clouds that eventually release rain.

Key Concept: Recognizing that rainy weather brings precipitation in the form of raindrops.

Sub-topic 1: Weather Activities

Activity: "Weather-Based Activity Planning"

Objective: Develop critical thinking skills in activity planning and decision-making based on weather conditions.
