About this worksheet

Weather science begins with careful observation, consistent words, and records that can be compared. A child who says “It was nice” has shared an opinion, not weather evidence. This worksheet asks first graders to tell what they can see and measure, such as cloudy, rainy, windy, and a thermometer reading, from how they feel about it. Students read bar graphs, compare categories, choose useful tools, and decide how to make a fair daily record.

Support versions use pictures, fewer days, and obvious differences. Challenge versions use closer counts and ask which claim the collected data actually supports. The page does not treat one week as proof of a season-wide rule. Encourage your child to observe at the same time and place each day when possible. Consistent records make a pattern easier to see and reduce the chance that a dramatic single day controls the conclusion.

What your child will learn

  • Separate weather observations from opinions
  • Read and compare a weather record
  • Choose tools for temperature, wind, and rain
  • Collect observations in a consistent way

NGSS standard: K-ESS2-1

Worked example

A chart shows four rainy days and two sunny days. The record supports 'rainy happened more often,' not 'it always rains.'

Common mistake

Making an always-or-never claim from only one day or one short weather record.

Helpful hint

Use only what the chart or observation actually shows.
