Weather Diary (1 Week)

Keep a weather diary for one week. Each day, look outside and draw or write:

  1. Is it sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy, or snowy?
  2. Is it hot, warm, cool, or cold?
  3. What clothes did you wear?
  4. Did you notice any animals or plants reacting to the weather?

After a week, look at your diary. Did the weather stay the same or change?
