Weather Conditions In Texas

Weather Conditions Across the United States

On a Texas map, students will create a weather report identifying weather conditions such as rain, scattered showers, snow, warm front, and cold front. Next, the student will identify 4 cities/states with different weather conditions and place the information on a chart or graph. Students will label and draw appropriate weather symbols in designated locations.

Weather Chart Weather conditions labeled on a chart or graph.	Poor (Working to be a scientist) Weather chart or graph is missing.	Fair (Novice Scientist) Some weather conditions, temperature, and precipitation has been charted for some cities on a chart or graph. Most of the important details are missing.	Good (Apprentice Scientist) Most weather conditions, temperature, and precipitation has been charted for most cities on a chart or graph. Some of the important details are missing.	Excellent (Expert Scientist) Weather conditions, temperature, and precipitation has been charted for all cities on a chart or graph.	Total
Weather Symbols Label & draw appropriate weather symbols in designated areas on the map. To include fronts and air pressure, cloud coverage, precipitation, and temperature.	Poor (Working to be a scientist) Few weather symbols are correctly drawn in identified cities on the Texas map with most reasonable temperatures for the region. Almost all important details are missing.	Fair (Novice Scientist) Some weather symbols are correctly drawn in identified cities on the Texas map with most reasonable temperatures for the region. Most important details are missing.	Good (Apprentice Scientist) Most weather symbols are correctly drawn in identified cities on the Texas map with most reasonable temperatures for the region. Some important details are missing.	Excellent (Expert Scientist) All weather symbols are correctly drawn in identified cities on the Texas map with accurate temperatures for the region.	Total
Weather Forecast Four day weather forecast with temperature and conditions described for a specific city. Prediction of conditions for fifth day included.	Poor (Working to be a scientist) Weather forecast not included or little effort made to use weather vocabulary.	Fair (Novice Scientist) Some effort made to create a forecast. Some use of appropriate weather vocabulary. Unreasonable or missing weather prediction made for the fifth day.	Good (Apprentice Scientist) Good four day forecast presentation using some vocabulary, weather conditions and temperatures described may or may not be accurate for region. Unreasonable or missing weather prediction made for the fifth day.	Excellent (Expert Scientist) Excellent four day forecast presentation using appropriate vocabulary, accurate weather conditions and temperatures described. Reasonable weather prediction made for the fifth day.	Total
