You will launch your weather station investigation by noticing weather signs, making a first prediction, trying simple tools, and starting your notebook so you are ready to ask stronger questions and collect evidence in the next phase.

You will investigate a surprising weather change, turn your wonderings into a focused class-ready question, decide what evidence to collect, and practice making predictions you can later compare with real observations.

You will finalize a clear weather data collection method, build and label your weather station tools, practice using them the same way each time, and set up a notebook-and-chart system that connects your instruments to the evidence you will collect.

You will turn your weather notes and measurements into charts, look for patterns across days and weeks, test your ideas against the evidence, and get your class weather station display ready. You will use peer feedback to strengthen your explanations before giving a short presentation about what your data shows, including one time your prediction matched and one time the evidence changed your thinking.

You will share your class weather station display with a real audience, explain how your tools and weather records answer the investigation question, and reflect on how your predictions matched or changed when you looked at evidence.
