Ms. Thomas' sixth graders at Whittier Elementary School in Great Falls learned about weather from Meteorologist Ryan Dennis on Friday, December 19, 2025.
Weather Lesson: Whittier 6th Grade (December 19, 2025)
Ryan taught the kids about wind, air pressure, and the difference between weather and climate.
The kids also learned about severe weather, including thunderstorms, lightning, and tornadoes.
No weather lesson is complete without some experiments though as the kids got to use a Van de Graaff generator to learn about how lightning forms, and they got to see how strong their own wind was by using an anemometer.
If you are an elementary school teacher and are interested in having us teach your class about the weather, then please email ryan.dennis@krtv.com.
