Week 8 of school we learned about wild weather using Layers of Learning, year 2 unit 5.

We made thundermade thunder by popping paper lunch bags.

We made static electricity.

We demonstrated how water comes out of a bottle faster when it’s swirling like a tornado.

We made a tornado in a bottle and watched the video from several years ago when the little guys made one for the first time.

The boys each picked a wild weather event to learn about and report to their brothers (Cameron: 2004 tsunami, Fritz: 1934 dust storm, Adrian: year without a summer).

We learned about different types of floods and the boys drew pictures to show how they happen.

We made a tornado in a jar.
