In this lesson students will understand that their name, home address, and their phone number is personal information. Students will also understand that they should not share this personal information with anyone online as well as strangers and why this is so important.

Description:  There is weathering, erosion, and deposition occurring on the playground and disturbing the area where the students can play!  First, invite the students to try to locate areas on the school grounds that show signs of these processes.  Visit these areas as a class and observe what is happening as the soil is broken down, moved away, and dropped somewhere else. (If there is not an appropriate spot on the school grounds, the teacher can use a photograph.)  Your job is to determine the best way to stop the soil from breaking down and moving so the playground is not ruined.

Students will make weather observations for one week utilizing the provided data sheet. After the week of weather observations, have the students tally each type of weather they observed and color in a bar graph. At the end of the week, students will make predictions about what the weather will be like next week. Ask the students to write a one-sentence summary of the normal, expected weather for their location.
