Weather Patterns
Grade 3 - Science - Challenge Me
Weather data: Mon rainy, Tue rainy, Wed cloudy, Thu rainy. What pattern is shown?
- several days are wet
- snow is decreasing
- the area is getting wetter
- temperatures are falling
Using this pattern, what forecast makes sense: Week 1 dry, Week 2 dry, Week 3 dry?
- the first observation will repeat exactly
- drought risk increases
- no forecast can use these data
- the opposite pattern is certain
Which tool would measure the key weather data for this pattern: Mon rainy, Tue rainy, Wed cloudy, Thu rainy?
- thermometer
- wind vane
- anemometer
- rain gauge
Which evidence supports the claim "wind speed is increasing"?
- Wind 5 mph, 12 mph, 20 mph, 28 mph
- a guess made before collecting data
- one measurement from a different season
- a tool name with no recorded values
What hazard might connect to this weather pattern: Wind 5 mph, 12 mph, 20 mph, 28 mph?
- strong wind
- heat
- flooding
- heavy snow
Weather data: Week 1 dry, Week 2 dry, Week 3 dry. What pattern is shown?
- wind speed is decreasing
- temperatures are falling
- the area is staying dry
- the area is getting wetter
Using this pattern, what forecast makes sense: Mon 70F, Tue 71F, Wed 73F, Thu 75F?
- no forecast can use these data
- the first observation will repeat exactly
- the opposite pattern is certain
- warmer than Monday
Which tool would measure the key weather data for this pattern: Week 1 dry, Week 2 dry, Week 3 dry?
- snow ruler
- wind vane
- thermometer
- rain gauge
Which evidence supports the claim "several days are wet"?
- Mon rainy, Tue rainy, Wed cloudy, Thu rainy
- one measurement from a different season
- a tool name with no recorded values
- a guess made before collecting data
What hazard might connect to this weather pattern: Snow totals: 1 in, 3 in, 6 in, 8 in?
- drought
- cold morning
- heavy snow
- strong wind
