Students will test simple weather tools, listen to a community garden need, record first observations, and share one fact and one feeling to begin designing weather station work that helps real people.

Students will use weather observations and the community garden manager’s needs to define a clear class problem statement about how weather data can help describe and predict changes in the local environment.

Students will brainstorm, sort, and choose a weather-report idea that best helps the community garden use weather data to make simple decisions about watering, planting, or protecting plants.

Students will create a first-draft community garden weather report by organizing class weather data into a simple display, rehearsing a short forecast with a partner, giving and receiving feedback, and revising their draft to better show one pattern and one prediction.

Students will test their draft community garden weather report with peers, collect specific feedback about the pattern and prediction, and revise their chart pointing, speaking, or evidence so the report is clearer and more useful.

Students will use a structured peer critique to improve their team weather report, checking that their data display clearly shows one weather pattern, one prediction, and a useful connection to the community garden before the final showcase.

Students will share a polished weather report for an authentic audience, show how class weather data supports a pattern and prediction, and document what they learned about using weather tools and data to help the community garden.
