What's So Cool About Interdisciplinary Learning? Let's take Weather, for example a subject you may have only touched upon in Science class. In an Interdisciplinary unit, all subjects would be used to explore this topic... Science: Learn about different cloud types and what causes thunder and lightning. Social Studies: How does climate affect a culture's clothing, shelter, and diet? Math: Measure and record daily rainfall and temperature, find averages and graph results. Reading and Writing: Study poetry about the weather and the seasons - "The fog comes on little cat feet..." Computer studies: Download current satellite images to determine the path of storms. When all subjects are closely woven together, students gain a greater understanding of the targeted subject and why it is important knowledge to have. With many hands-on activities it's also a lot of fun! Hands-on activities that's a lot of fun! That's What's Cool About Interdisciplinary Learning!
