What this lesson teaches

Weather is what the sky and air are like each day — sunny, rainy, windy, or snowy. We can observe and describe patterns over time.

Worked examples

Example 1

In many places, summer days are usually hot and sunny while winter days are cold and may bring snow.

Example 2

Spring often brings rain and new leaves, while fall brings wind and leaves falling from trees.

Example 3

Weather can change in one day — a sunny morning can turn into a rainy afternoon — but the pattern for the whole season stays the same.

Practice questions

  1. Describe today's weather.
  2. What clothes would you wear on a rainy day?
  3. Name a weather pattern you notice in your season.

Patrones del clima

El clima es cómo está el cielo y el aire cada día: soleado, lluvioso, ventoso o con nieve. Podemos observar y describir patrones a lo largo del tiempo.

Ejemplo 1: En muchos lugares, los días de verano suelen ser calurosos y soleados, mientras que los días de invierno son fríos y pueden traer nieve.

Ejemplo 2: La primavera suele traer lluvia y hojas nuevas, mientras que el otoño trae viento y hojas que caen de los árboles.

Ejemplo 3: El clima puede cambiar en un día — una mañana soleada puede volverse una tarde lluviosa — pero el patrón de toda la estación sigue igual.
