About this worksheet

Weather can change quickly, but repeated observations help students notice patterns. Second graders may make a prediction from one dramatic day rather than from a record, or they may mix opinion words such as nice with observable evidence such as rainy, windy, or cooler. This worksheet uses short records and bar graphs to keep the reasoning tied to data. Students read which weather happened most or least, find how many more days one kind of weather had than another, choose weather tools, and make a supported prediction from a pattern.

Support versions use clear differences between three bars. Challenge versions compare two weeks and read a graph of five days. The goal is not to promise tomorrow's weather with certainty; it is to make a reasonable claim from repeated observations. Encourage your child to point to at least two pieces of evidence before naming a pattern.

What your child will learn

Identify repeated weather observations
Read weather data from a graph
Make predictions from patterns
Separate evidence from guesses

NGSS standard: 2-ESS2-1

Worked example

If wind increases near 3 PM for several days, it is reasonable to predict wind may increase near 3 PM again.

Common mistake

Using one unusual day as if it proves a pattern.

Helpful hint

Look for observations that repeat.
