Weather Forecasting

Grades K-2

Forecasted weather patterns have an effect on human behavior.

The crew asks questions about the weather on Tellenor and how the citizens should respond to it, based on the real weather forecast.

The crew analyzes and interprets the data from Moodoo's false weather report, as well as the real-time video and radar footage of the weather on Tellenor, to determine the true conditions and how to respond.

The crew engages in informal argument by determining the correct response to the thunderstorm based on the evidence provided.

The mission involves understanding the cause and effect relationship between weather conditions and how people should respond. For example, identifying a thunderstorm as the cause of the dangerous situation and staying indoors as the appropriate effect/response.

The crew has to notice inconsistencies in Moodoo's false weather report and the actual footage of the weather. This involves recognizing patterns in weather indicators and distinguishing between real and fake information.

Weather is the combination of sunlight, wind, snow or rain, and temperature in a particular region at a particular time. People measure these conditions to describe and record the weather and to notice patterns over time.

The mission involves understanding weather patterns and their impact on human activities. The crew helps the people of Tellenor understand the true weather conditions (thunderstorm) and how they should react.

Some kinds of severe weather are more likely than others in a given region. Weather scientists forecast severe weather so that the communities can prepare for and respond to these events.

The mission addresses the impact of natural hazards, such as thunderstorms, on human lives and the importance of accurate weather forecasts for safety. The crew helps the people of Tellenor to understand the real hazards and respond accordingly.
