The Minnesota Weatherguide Teacher's Curriculum
The
Minnesota Weatherguide Environment Calendar, published by the Freshwater Society, is the perfect addition to any classroom.
The factual scientific charts, documents and images pertaining to Minnesota complement a wide spectrum of
Minnesota Academic Standards. Along with the calendar, the
Calendar in the Classroom program provides step-by-step, hands-on lesson plans in topics such as: meteorology, phenology and astronomy.
The
Calendar in the Classroom program, developed by the Jeffers Foundation and Freshwater Society, allows teachers to incorporate simple and concise lessons that integrate science content into other academic areas within their daily schedule. Without extensive background knowledge, a teacher can easily involve student in daily observations, instruct with the aide of visuals, and rely on information provided in the calendar to act as content meeting state science standards.
