Elaborate:
Using information from the reading and from the simulation, students will now create a foldable identifying characteristics of all four kinds of weather fronts.

- Use the following template to make your foldable.
- Include information from the following website.
Evaluate:
After completing the foldable, students independently reflect on the lesson and answer the reflection question in the EVALUATE section of their notes sheet:
How do you think scientists can use the information about fronts to predict the weather?
