What You'll Need
- Paper
- Crayons or markers
- Window view
- Optional approved local forecast
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Look through a closed window and write three things you can truly observe, such as raindrops, dark clouds, or moving branches.
- 2
Draw a simple weather board with sections for now, later, and what would help us stay comfortable.
- 3
Compare the observation with a reputable local forecast only after the first drawing is complete.
- 4
Record one modest prediction, such as whether the rain will still be visible in thirty minutes, and explain that forecasts can change.
- 5
Perform a short indoor broadcast for the family, then choose one safe rainy-day plan from the board.
Quest Challenge
Can the studio separate what it sees from what it predicts in every part of the broadcast?
Pro Tip
The activity is strongest when children learn that good forecasts use observations and can still be uncertain.
