Spreadsheet Lesson Plan
Lesson Topic:
Students explore and describe daily weather conditions in different regions of the world.
Lesson Goal:
In this activity, students will utilize collaborative word processing software to generate a table detailing information about earth's climate types. Students will use multimedia sources and internet articles to research information about their assigned climate zone.
In this activity, students will utilize digital tools to collect data about weather conditions in our area with the purpose of generalizing weather patterns.

Standards:
- NGSS PE 3-ESS2-2: Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world.
- NGSS DCI ESS2-D: Climate describes a range of an area's typical weather conditions and the extent to which those conditions vary over years.
- 3.MD.A.2: Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.
- 3.MD.B.3: Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in bar graphs.
Materials:
- Attached Google Form (See sample)
- Outside thermometer to measure the "actual" temperature
- Access to internet
