Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of monsoons. Explain that some places have two seasons: a dry season and a wet season called a monsoon.

Discuss the importance of monsoon rains in providing water for living things and how it can lead to flooding.

Use the video 'Monsoons' to explain the characteristics of monsoon seasons and their impact on the environment.

Emphasize the role of monsoon winds and how they influence weather patterns.

Engage students in a discussion about how monsoon rains affect their local environment and daily life.

Explore the concept of flooding during monsoons and its effects on communities.

Conduct a simple experiment to demonstrate how rain can lead to flooding. Use a tray, water, and small objects to simulate a flood.

Have students create a weather diary to track daily weather conditions, focusing on precipitation and wind patterns.

Ask students to describe different weather conditions and list appropriate clothing for each scenario using the 'Describing Weather' worksheet.

Conduct a quick quiz to assess students' understanding of monsoons and their characteristics.

Review the key concepts learned about monsoons and discuss any questions students may have.

Encourage students to reflect on how monsoon seasons affect their environment and lifestyle.

Use the 'Reading a Thermometer' worksheet to help students understand temperature differences during different weather conditions.

For extension, students can explore the 'Extreme Weather' worksheet to learn about other severe weather events.
