Forecasters in training!
Third graders learn the difference between weather (what's happening outside today) and climate (the usual weather in a place over many years). They use tools like thermometers, rain gauges and wind vanes to collect data, then show it in tables and graphs to spot patterns by season. They also learn about severe weather like hurricanes and tornadoes and how people prepare to stay safe. The click moment is when kids use their own weather data to predict what next week might bring.
