Rain or Shine?

Weather is the combination of sunlight, wind, snow or rain and temperature in a particular region and time. People measure these conditions to describe and record the weather and to notice patterns over time. Talking about weather is a daily opportunity to increase children’s awareness of the natural world. These conversations will allow children to see patterns in their observations and explore how weather has an impact on living things. In this lesson, students will use weather forecast data to analyze patterns in weather conditions over a period of time.
