Friday: A weather chart

Raven tapes a big chart to the wall.

"One box for each day," she says.

Rocket draws a sun in Monday.

Nova says, "Now watch for a pattern."

Make a weather chart

A weather chart has one box for each day.

Each day, look at the sky.

Draw the weather in that box.

A sun for sunny. A cloud for cloudy.

Lines for wind. Drops for rain.

A grown-up can write the day.

Look for a pattern

After many days, look at your chart.

Count the sunny days.

Count the rainy days.

Which did you see most?

Were there more warm days or cold days?

That is a weather pattern.
