Rainy Adventures: Splish, Splash, Learn Outside!

Teach Outdoors

In this episode of Teach Outdoors, we delve into a rainy week of explorations. Join us as we discuss how we prepared for the rain, what we noticed on a rainy autumn nature walk, and the math and science activities we engaged in.

First, we emphasize the importance of proper preparation and safety when embarking on outdoor activities in the rain. Ensuring everyone had the right rain gear and discussing different types of precipitation helped set the stage for a successful outing.

Next, we share how we integrated math and science into our explorations. We set u rain gauges to measure rainfall and engaged in a rainfall rate experiment using raindrop catchers. This allowed our students to learn about data collections, analysis and the importance of rainfall for plants and animals.

This episode is a great reminder that rainy days can be just as educational and engaging as sunny ones. Exploring nature in the rain fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of the environment while adding an element of fun and adventure.
