February+Dwire+Science+Week+3+Weather

The past couple weeks for science we have discussed the weather. Who can tell me something about the weather?



How does the weather look in this picture? How can you tell?



What about this picture?

Does weather change?





This week we are going to talk about different tools that help us to tell what the weather will be like.

A thermometer is a tool that measures temperature.



What do you think a thermometer tells us about the weather? (how cool or warm the weather is)

Temperature is how warm or cool something is.



When the temperature is cold, you wear clothes that keep you warm. When it is hot, you wear clothes that help you cool off.



If you need a coat or jacket, what does that tell you about the temperature?

You can also use tools to measure the wind and rain. A windsock and a wind vane are tools that show which way the wind blows.





A rain gauge measures rainfall.



If a rain gauge is full, what can you tell about the weather? (it rained a lot).
