What goes up when rain comes down? An umbrella! Activity eight in the series of 12 explores weather and climate. In pairs, participants analyze maps, watch a short video, create a weather forecast, and complete a reading to determine the definitions of weather and climate. Individuals then draw weather and climate on a note card to keep as a reference and take a quiz to assess learning.
