Local weather patterns
Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
What a learner can do afterwards
- Observe and record daily weather conditions (temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, wind)
- Identify patterns in weather data over days or weeks
- Use observations to make simple predictions about upcoming weather
The lesson
Weather can be sunny, rainy, cloudy, or windy. It changes from day to day. You can watch it and write it down.
Zoe checks outside every morning. She writes hot or cold, and sunny or rainy. After many days, she sees a pattern.
If today has dark clouds, tomorrow might be rainy too. Patterns help you guess what comes next.
Watch, write it down, and use patterns to guess what comes next.
