Weather Patterns

Grade 3 - Science - Building Confidence

Worksheet 1

  1. Weather data: Wind 5 mph, 12 mph, 20 mph, 28 mph. What pattern is shown?

    A bar graph shows the weather data values.A bar graph with a numbered vertical scale and 4 bars. The bars read 1 5, 2 12, 3 20, 4 28.Weather Data04812162024281234

  2. Using this pattern, what forecast makes sense: Morning 42F, noon 58F, afternoon 64F?

  3. Which tool would measure the key weather data for this pattern: Mon rainy, Tue rainy, Wed cloudy, Thu rainy?

  4. Which evidence supports the claim "wind speed is increasing"?

    A bar graph shows the weather data values.A bar graph with a numbered vertical scale and 4 bars. The bars read 1 5, 2 12, 3 20, 4 28.Weather Data04812162024281234

  5. What hazard might connect to this weather pattern: Week 1 dry, Week 2 dry, Week 3 dry?

  6. Weather data: Week 1 dry, Week 2 dry, Week 3 dry. What pattern is shown?

    A bar graph shows the weather data values.A bar graph with a numbered vertical scale and 3 bars. The bars read Wk1 0, Wk2 0, Wk3 0.Weather Data0123Wk1Wk2Wk3

  7. Using this pattern, what forecast makes sense: Week 1 dry, Week 2 dry, Week 3 dry?

  8. Which tool would measure the key weather data for this pattern: Mon 70F, Tue 71F, Wed 73F, Thu 75F?

  9. Which evidence supports the claim "the area is staying dry"?

    A bar graph shows the weather data values.A bar graph with a numbered vertical scale and 3 bars. The bars read Wk1 0, Wk2 0, Wk3 0.Weather Data0123Wk1Wk2Wk3

About this worksheet

Weather patterns help students use data to describe and predict daily conditions helps third graders connect observations with scientific explanations instead of memorizing isolated facts. Students may choose a forecast from one exciting day instead of looking across several observations for a repeated pattern. This worksheet uses short evidence-based situations so students must read the setup, identify the pattern, and choose the answer that fits the science idea named in the title. Students read weather data, choose patterns, connect tools to measurements, and support simple forecasts with evidence. Support versions use familiar examples and direct wording. Standard and challenge versions add closer distractors and require more comparison. Encourage your child to point to the evidence in the prompt before choosing an answer. If the answer does not explain the observation or solve the stated problem, it is probably a distractor. That habit builds careful science reasoning and prepares students for longer investigations.

What your child will learn

  • Read weather data
  • Identify patterns
  • Choose measurement tools
  • Support forecasts with evidence

Worked example

If temperatures rise each day, the pattern supports a warmer forecast.

Common mistake

Basing a forecast on one data point instead of the pattern.

Helpful hint

Look across the data before predicting.
