This lesson works best after students have been introduced to basic weather concepts. The "storm in a bottle" activity can get messy, so consider preparing a designated area with paper towels or conducting this portion outside if weather permits.
The story of "The Skellies" provides an engaging narrative framework for discussing weather phenomena, as the characters' adventure through the sky allows them to experience different weather conditions firsthand. The emotional reactions of the characters to thunder and lightning also provide an opportunity to discuss weather-related fears and safety precautions.
