Teacher tip

Use your class weather calendar data so the graph is real.

How to use it

  • Do the weather check at the same time every day so kids can compare.
  • Put a thermometer outside a window so kids can read the real temperature.
  • Start with a two-minute “I notice, I wonder” talk about the picture on the sheet.

Watch for

Weather and climate are different. Weather is today; climate is the usual pattern over many years.

Talk about it

  • How did the weather change this week?
  • What evidence helped you choose your answer?

Take it further

Compare your class weather data with the forecast on the news.
