Activity 3: Exploring Elements of Climate

Strand: Environmental Science


Theme: Climate
Duration: 45 minutes
Setting: Outdoor school compound & classroom

Learning Objectives

By the end of this activity, students will be able to:


✅ Identify the main elements of climate: sunlight, temperature, wind, and rainfall
✅ Describe how each element affects our daily life
✅ Observe and record simple weather conditions

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

Start with a quick discussion:

 Ask: “What do you feel when you step outside today?”


 Show flashcards or draw simple symbols of sun, wind, rain, and 🌡️temperature
(hot/cold).

Explain: “These are elements of climate—they tell us what the weather feels like.”

2. Outdoor Weather Walk & Observation (15 minutes)

Take students outside for a “weather walk” around the school compound.
Ask them to observe:

 Is the sun shining or is it cloudy?


 Can you feel wind on your face or see trees moving?
 Does it feel hot or cool?
 Is there any rain or wet ground?

Let students point, talk, and use their senses.

3. Weather Chart Activity (15 minutes)

Return to class and give each child a simple 4-box chart labeled:

 Sunlight ️
 Wind
 Temperature
 Rain
Ask them to draw or color what they observed today in each box.

4. Sharing & Wrap-up (10 minutes)

 Invite 2–3 students to share their weather drawings.


 Ask:
- “Why do we need sunlight?”
- “What happens when it rains?”
-“How can we tell it's windy?”
- “How do we feel on hot vs. cold days?”

Reinforce: “These are all important elements of climate that help us understand our
environment.”

Materials Needed

 Flashcards or board drawings (sun, wind, rain, hot/cold)


 Weather chart handout (or blank paper divided into 4 parts)
 Colored pencils

✅ Assessment

 Can students name at least 2 elements of climate?


 Are their drawings correctly representing what they saw or felt outside?
