Weather carousel

This activity is a great way to introduce weather forecasting. Begin by setting up carousel activities with four stations linked to weather predictions, for example meteorological equipment and weather clothes. This will help lead into a discussion about what weather forecasting is, why it is important and whether information in weather forecasts is trustworthy.
