Operate a mini-weather station in your classroom. Have students use the weather tools they made to record data. Have students compare their data to data in the local newspaper and television weather reports. Data from the weather station should be gathered for an extended time period to compare to local weather reports. You may wish to keep the weather station for two weeks, a month, or even the entire school year.
Students can work together to create maps, charts, and script for the forecaster.
If possible, have students use a video camera to record the broadcast. Allow students plenty of time to prepare the broadcast. Depending on the needs of your students, your schedule, and how extensive you want the production to be, a week or two should be sufficient.
