A heat wave is when it gets super hot outside for a long time. This usually happens in the summer when the sun is shining really bright. During a heat wave, it can be so hot that it doesn’t rain much, and this can make the ground very dry.

Water Observation Experiment: Fill two small bowls with the same amount of water. Place one bowl in a sunny spot and the other in a shady area. Check the bowls after a few hours and observe what happens to the water levels. Talk about why the water in the sunny spot might have evaporated more quickly and how this relates to heat waves and the importance of staying hydrated.
Heat Wave Journal: Keep a journal for a week and note down the weather each day. Draw pictures of what you see outside, like the sun, clouds, or dry ground. Write or draw how you feel when it’s hot and what activities you do to stay cool. Share your journal with your class and discuss how weather affects our daily lives.
