Weather Patterns

Grade 2 - Science - Building Confidence

Worksheet 1

  1. Weather record: the temperature is cooler each morning than afternoon. Which pattern is supported?

  2. For the record "the temperature is cooler each morning than afternoon", which weather category has the greatest value in the class graph?

    A weather bar graph compares recorded categories.A bar graph with a numbered vertical scale and 3 bars. The bars read Morning 4, Noon 7, Afternoon 8.Class Weather Record012345678MorningNoonAfternoon

  3. Which observation is evidence for this pattern: the temperature is cooler each morning than afternoon?

  4. Which prediction follows from the record: the temperature is cooler each morning than afternoon?

  5. What makes a weather claim stronger for a record like "snow is recorded only on the coldest days"?

  6. Weather record: clouds appear before each recorded rain shower. Which pattern is supported?

  7. For the record "snow is recorded only on the coldest days", which weather category has the greatest value in the class graph?

    A weather bar graph compares recorded categories.A bar graph with a numbered vertical scale and 3 bars. The bars read Cold 6, Mild 2, Warm 0.Class Weather Record012345678ColdMildWarm

  8. Which observation is evidence for this pattern: three rainy mornings followed by one sunny morning?

  9. Which prediction follows from the record: three rainy mornings followed by one sunny morning?

  10. What makes a weather claim stronger for a record like "afternoons grow windy near 3 PM"?

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 identify what repeats, choose a supported prediction, read the highest or lowest graph category, and separate evidence from guesses. Support versions use clear differences. Challenge versions include time-of-day patterns and closer data. 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

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.
