Name: Engage
Minutes: 20
Purpose: Surface students' prior knowledge and spark curiosity about weather changes by presenting a real meteorological phenomenon — a dramatic before-and-after weather event — so students generate questions and initial ideas about what causes abrupt shifts in temperature, wind, and precipitation before any formal vocabulary is introduced.
Materials

Q1. Look at the two weather station data cards your group analyzed. Describe in 2–3 sentences what you think is happening at the boundary between the two air masses. What evidence from the data supports your idea?
