Read a Weather Chart

Start with something students can look at or think about: a photo, a short video, a jar on the windowsill, or a question like "what do you already know about weather graph?" Then let them work through the first item together as a class, then finish the rest independently or with a partner, keeping a word bank or anchor chart in view so the vocabulary stays available. When you review, ask students how they knew, and let them point to the part of the diagram or reading that told them. These weather graph worksheets work well as a lead in before an investigation, as a way to capture what students noticed afterward, or as review before an assessment.

Read a week weather chart and key, then answer five questions on sunny, cloudy and rainy days. A weather chart uses pictures to show what the weather was like each day. The directions on the page read: Read the key. Then, look at the chart. Then, answer each question on the line. The answer key shows every answer.

Yes, both. We made it for 1st Grade weather and seasons, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with weather graph. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

First graders learn to observe weather daily, record data using tally marks, and organize results into a simple bar graph. They then practice reading the graph to answer questions like 'How many sunny days were there?' and 'Which type of weather happened most often?' This builds scientific habits of mind alongside foundational math skills in data and graphing.

Weather graphing is typically integrated into a Grade 1 weather unit, often as an ongoing activity throughout a month. Teachers assign students a weather journal or class weather chart, and worksheets help students summarize and analyze the data collected. The activity is common in both science and math instruction at this level.

Start a weather calendar together, each morning have your child look outside and record the weather with a tally mark in the correct column. After one or two weeks, transfer the tallies to the bar graph on the worksheet and read the results together. Reviewing the graph at the end of the month gives a satisfying sense of data collected over real time.

2 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade students, roughly ages 6-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.
