Aims and objectives
This activity lets you make a weather record for each day of the week.
Previous knowledge
No previous knowledge is required for this activity
In the classroom
The activity can be used as a daily record in the classroom to
build up a picture of weather patterns. The information can be
printed out for display purposes and used for data handling activities
in either numeracy, science or geography based topics.
Used with an interactive whiteboard, pupils can be encouraged to
talk about the weather and the days of the week then, by taking turns
around the class, be asked to set and print the weather chart for
that day. The printouts can then be used for display purposes to
show how the weather changes over a period of time. This rudimentary
data can then be used to create simple, additional charts and graphs
as an introduction to data handling.
