Storm Data Investigation

Worksheet illustration

Part 1: Investigate the Weather Data

Four fictional weather stations collected data at the same time.

Station A: Temperature 84°F; Wind speed 12 mph; Rainfall 0.1 inches

Station B: Temperature 79°F; Wind speed 28 mph; Rainfall 2.4 inches

Station C: Temperature 86°F; Wind speed 8 mph; Rainfall 0.0 inches

Station D: Temperature 76°F; Wind speed 35 mph; Rainfall 3.1 inches

1. Which station has the greatest wind speed?

Station A

Station B

Station C

Station D

2. Find the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures. Show your work.
3. How much rainfall was recorded at Stations B and D altogether?
4. Which station has both the lowest temperature and the greatest rainfall? Explain what these data may suggest.

Part 2: Graph the Evidence

Create three bar graphs using the data above: one for temperature, one for wind speed, and one for rainfall. Label each graph, include all four stations, and choose a reasonable scale.

5. Temperature graph
6. Wind-speed graph
7. Rainfall graph

Part 3: Make a Storm Investigation Claim

A developing storm may be connected to changing or extreme conditions such as strong winds, heavy rainfall, and a noticeable temperature difference.

8. Which station is most likely experiencing a developing storm?

Station A

Station B

Station C

Station D

9. Claim: State which station you selected and describe what you think is happening.
10. Evidence and reasoning: Use at least two numbers from the data to support your claim. Explain how the evidence supports your conclusion.
