Local weather patterns
Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions

Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Record weather consistently and make a cautious prediction from a pattern.
Can discuss the supplied example in an accessible mode; adapt directions without supplying the target answer.
Check the learner can follow the model with support before moving on. Source prerequisite ordering is not learner mastery; return to prerequisite work when needed.
Observe safely from indoors or a sheltered adult-approved place, never during severe weather. A thermometer is optional; missing measurements stay blank. Open S first, G together, then T alone; put S and G away before T. Keys stay adult-only. No purchase or printing is required; an unavailable physical observation remains pending, not passed.
Materials are ready in each step. Use them on screen or print just the current step. Put teaching examples aside before the learner tries.
What this lesson covers and its limits
These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.
- partial: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
Seven-day real diary and prediction based on local observations remain pending until actually recorded; model data are explicitly fictional.
- partial: Observe and record daily weather conditions (temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, wind)
Seven-day real diary and prediction based on local observations remain pending until actually recorded; model data are explicitly fictional.
- partial: Identify patterns in weather data over days or weeks
Seven-day real diary and prediction based on local observations remain pending until actually recorded; model data are explicitly fictional.
- partial: Use observations to make simple predictions about upcoming weather
Seven-day real diary and prediction based on local observations remain pending until actually recorded; model data are explicitly fictional.
- partial: Has {{name}} kept a weather diary for a week or more, recording whether it was sunny, rainy, or windy, and noticed any patterns?
