Clouds through all levels: cumulus and cumulonimbus
Analysing
Compare and contrast each of the following weather instruments used by meteorologists to make weather predictions: barometer, anemometer, wind vane, rain gauge and hygrometer.
Evaluating
Determine which geographic region of the world has the best weather or climate conditions on a regular basis. Which areas will you consider and what criteria will you use? Be able to defend your position.
Creating
In ancient time people invented stories to explain natural phenomena such as weather conditions. Pretend you live in an ancient land. Compose a story that explains the falling of hail. Illustrate your tale.
