Weather Data Analysis and Interpretation

The video tutorial guides students through evaluating evidence cards to determine strong and weak evidence for predicting island weather suitable for orangutans. It emphasizes the importance of monthly data over daily data for making scientific arguments. The lesson concludes with a challenge activity for students to investigate temperature ranges in a chosen location.

What is the purpose of evaluating evidence cards as strong or weak?

• To learn about different weather patterns

• To decide which island to visit

• To understand the history of the islands

• To determine the credibility of the data

Which evidence card provides data on Creek Island's daily high temperatures in August?

• Evidence card 20

• Evidence card 1

• Evidence card 7

• Evidence card 11

What is a common feature of strong evidence cards?

• They provide data for a single day

• They include monthly data

• They focus on precipitation only

• They are based on predictions

Which island's weather is claimed to be most like the orangutans' habitat?

• None of the above

• Creek Island

• Blue Island

• Ark Island

Why is card 13 considered important evidence?

• It includes temperature data for a single day

• It predicts future weather patterns

• It provides data on precipitation

• It describes the weather needs of orangutans

What additional data is suggested to be requested from the WPO?

• Daily wind speed data

• Monthly precipitation data

• Humidity levels

• More temperature data

What is the main goal of the home investigation activity?

• To understand precipitation data

• To compare temperature ranges of a chosen location

• To predict future weather patterns

• To learn about different islands

What should you do after collecting temperature data for 30 days in the home investigation?

• Ignore the data

• Share it with a friend

• Create a line plot

• Write a report

What is the final step in the home investigation activity?

• Create a presentation

• Predict tomorrow's high temperature

• Compare data with a friend

• Submit the data to the teacher

What is the key takeaway from the lesson on predicting weather?

• Understanding daily weather changes

• Knowing the temperature range for a month helps predict future weather

• Learning about different islands

• Studying precipitation patterns
