  2. Each issue of Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle is based on one of the seven Essential Principles of Climate Science. The issue helps teachers connect the essential principle to the elementary science curriculum.

  3. Each issue of the Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle online magazine contains high quality professional and instructional resources for elementary teachers. Resources are organized into two departments: Professional Learning and In the Classroom.

  4. Issue 1: The Sun and Earth’s Climate In this issue, we explore the Sun’s role as the primary source of energy for Earth’s climate system. Learn how the reading comprehension strategy of making predictions can support the development of science process skills. Discover lesson plans and informational text that can be integrated into your current instruction, or unit plans that can be used to create a new unit about the Sun’s energy and its effect on Earth’s land, air, and water.

  5. Each issue of Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle focuses on a literacy skill or reading comprehension strategy. Resources include high quality lessons for teaching literacy in conjunction with scientific content. Integrating science and literacy saves time in a crowded curriculum and improves student achievement in both content areas.

  6. Informational text helps students build science content knowledge while practicing key reading skills and strategies.
