wunder beta📊 Graphing Seasonal Weather
Become a weather detective by reading bar graphs and line graphs of temperature and rainfall across the seasons.
What you’ll learn
- Bars Show AmountsRead a bar graph to compare amounts and identify the largest and smallest values.A bar graph turns weather numbers into bars you can compare. The taller the bar, the greater the amount. By reading the labels on the bottom and the numbers on the side, you can find out how much rain fell in any month.
- Lines Show ChangeRead a line graph to see change over time and find its highest and lowest points.A line graph connects points to show change over time. On a temperature graph, the line climbs toward summer and falls toward winter. The highest point is the warmest month and the lowest point is the coldest.
- Weather DetectivesChoose the best graph for a task and read weather data from tables and graphs.Bar graphs are best for comparing separate amounts, and line graphs are best for showing change over time. Tables let us compare places side by side. Reading graphs carefully lets a weather detective tell the story of any place.
Questions this course answers
On the rainfall bar graph, which month had the most rain?
May has the tallest bar at 4.5 inches, and on a bar graph the tallest bar means the largest amount.
What does a taller bar on a bar graph tell you?
On a bar graph, height shows amount. The taller the bar, the greater the amount it stands for.
Why is a line graph a good choice for showing temperature through the year?
A line graph connects points to show how something changes over time, which is exactly what temperature does across the seasons.
On the temperature line graph, the highest point is in July. What does that mean?
The highest point on a temperature line graph shows the biggest number of degrees, so July was the warmest month.
You want to compare how much snow fell in each of four seasons. Which graph fits best?
Comparing separate amounts, like snow in four seasons, is the job of a bar graph.
Using the two-city table, which city gets snow?
The table shows a check mark for snow only in Snowvale, whose winter low is a chilly 12°F.
