A season can have a usual pattern and still contain different daily weather. A short sample is not a climate normal. These invented observations are practice data for one fictional place. They do not describe your home or prove what every winter and summer are like. Safety: Indoor paper task only; no weather instruments or outdoor observation needed. Stop: Stop after this sample chart. Do not go outdoors to collect data or watch bad weather.

Materials: Paper; Pencil; Ruler 1. Copy this illustrative eight-day table with columns Season, Day, Temperature °C, Rain mm, Cloud: Winter W1 6,4,overcast; W2 8,0,clear; W3 5,6,overcast; W4 7,2,partly cloudy. Summer S1 22,0,clear; S2 24,1,partly cloudy; S3 21,3,overcast; S4 23,0,clear. 2. Make a temperature bar chart. Label eight day positions and a vertical scale from 0 to 25 °C with ticks every 5 °C. Draw each bar to its value; values between ticks belong between them. 3. Count clear and overcast days in each season. Add the rain amounts for each four-day sample. Record both totals with mm, and use the cloud table to check that no day was omitted. 4. Write two comparisons with numbers: one about temperature and one about rain or cloud. Finish: This sample suggests __, but to describe a typical season we would need __. Keep this separate from real observations. Done: All eight rows, eight labelled bars, two rain totals, cloud counts, and two bounded comparisons are complete. Proof: Keep table and chart. Note help with scales, addition, reading, or ruler placement. Mark all data illustrative. Stop: Stop after this sample chart. Do not go outdoors to collect data or watch bad weather.
