Tracking

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a grid for students to use in “Tracking the Weather” over a period of time. It provides columns for the date, day of the week, general weather conditions, high and low temperatures, rainfall, and times for sunrise and sunset. Students are expected to fill in the chart with the appropriate data each day, creating a comprehensive record of the weather. The inclusion of sunrise and sunset times suggests an introduction to the concept of daylight hours in relation to weather patterns.

The worksheet is teaching students how to systematically observe and record various aspects of the weather. It encourages the development of data collection and record-keeping skills, important in scientific observation. By tracking weather conditions daily, students learn about meteorological patterns and the natural variations of climate over time. This activity also aids in teaching the concept of data analysis, as students can use the collected information to identify trends and make predictions.
