The class can list and suggest answers to questions that the data could answer about the current weather affecting the school’s location and how it might change in the future.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to collect, record and analyse different sets of data and information about what is currently happening in the weather in the school’s location

Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to describe and interpret data that has been collected about the weather and a table display card to identify and answer questions about a set of data that has been collected about the current weather.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to collect, record and analyse different sets of data and information about what is happening in the weather.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to investigate how to use different forms of technological sensors to record, monitor and present weather information and data. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
