Students really see how the mercury moves from lower into higher temperature in the thermometer.

Students compare the temparature as they learn literacy or the language.
How is thermometer

Students look for the information about how thermometer is used in real life in the internet.
Length
Students review what they have learned in the previous unit about measuring. When students learned about WInd Direction, they also learned to measure the length of their shadow. It was a transdisciplinary learning, where students math, science and in one learning engagement.
Line Graph
Line graph is taught to present data of the temperature during their observation in a week, so that at the end they can make a forecast based on the pattern appears during the observation. Students also can put the data of measuring length of their shadow in different time. Line graph can show the data collected by students in certain time, then they represent it in form of graph.
Wind Direction
Students went outside the classroom in the morning, to see where the sun rise from. Some of the students knew that the sun arise from east.
They identified the direction and observed what they can see in different direction.
They also identified where their shadow were in different times.
Measuring Precipitation
Students collect the rain falls on cups and measured in the classroom. They predicted how much water collectd in 45 minutes of raining.
