Florida's Climate

This week in Social Studies we've been learning about Florida's climate, what things affect Florida's climate, and the reasons why people from all over the world want to come to Florida. Try and fill in the blank:
_________________: how high or how low the land is

_________________: the line that divides the world into the southern & northern hemispheres.

_________________: the amount of moisture in the air

_________________: the two bodies of water around Florida

STUDENTS:
Tell your parents why people from all over the world want to come to Florida.
Why is it important for others around the world to come to Florida.
Remember we discussed 4 reasons.

Hot Air Balloon!

This video shows students the effects of matter changing phase. Changing phase simply means when matter changes from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gas. It can also change phases backwards from a gas to a liquid then to a solid. The follow video demonstrates this while at the same time keeping the students aware of the scientific method.

STUDENTS: Show of your learning skills by following the instructions on the video and asking your parents what they think will happen.

Florida's Aquifer

What do you know about Florida's Aquifer? Do you even know what an aquifer is and why it's important to Florida?

I created this video to show students the parts of an aquifer, and to explain to them the importance of it.

STUDENTS: Tell your parents what you learned about aquifers. Remember, watch the video it you need to refresh your memory.
