Predict the Sky

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students connect barometric readings with the corresponding weather conditions. It features four different barometer dials, each showing specific atmospheric pressure readings, placed alongside two cartoon symbols representing sunny and rainy weather. Students are instructed to draw lines from each barometer to the weather symbol that matches the expected weather outcome based on the barometer’s reading. This visual and interactive approach makes it engaging for students to learn about the predictive power of barometers.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to interpret barometric readings and predict the type of weather they indicate. By analyzing whether the pressure is high, low, or showing significant changes, students can deduce if it will be a sunny day or if they should expect rain. This activity encourages students to develop critical observational skills that are foundational in understanding meteorology. Ultimately, the worksheet fosters a practical understanding of how atmospheric pressure influences weather, empowering students with the knowledge to discuss and predict weather conditions effectively.
