Fronts Foldable Directions:
1) Fold a piece of paper in half long ways (hot dog style).
2) Cut 4 equal flaps on the top side.
3) Label each flap on the outside with a different type of front. Include a drawing of the weather symbol for that front - in color!
4) On the bottom part of the inside of your foldable, describe what happens with the air mass. Include the weather associated with that front.
5) On the top part of the inside of your foldable, draw a picture of what happens to the warm and cold air masses during that front.
