This lesson is designed to support students' understanding of how to read and compare weather data using various displays.
The lesson begins by teaching students how to read and interpret weather data—including precipitation, temperature, and wind speed—from forecast tables and maps. Students will then learn to compare weather conditions across different days and locations, describing differences such as variations in rainfall amounts and identifying which location had the highest temperature and on which day.
This lesson expands on standard 2.10B, in which students measure and record weather, and prepares them for standard 4.10C, where they will distinguish between weather and climate.
