Weather Condition Analysis

Lesson Overview

Students will be using weather tools and maps to analyze and interpret data to predict local weather patterns and conditions. They will record their data in their journals to make an accurate weather prediction.

Duration

Multiple days

Lesson Type

Project Based Lesson

Essential Question

How would you analyze and interpret data from weather conditions (including wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, cloud types, and air pressure), weather maps, satellites, and radar to predict local weather patterns and conditions?
