Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.42 Measure and Graph Local Weather skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A school weather station recorded Monday 64 degrees F, 2 cm rain, north wind; Tuesday 67 degrees F, 1 cm rain, north wind; Wednesday 71 degrees F, 0 cm rain, east wind; Thursday 73 degrees F, 0 cm rain, east wind; and Friday 75 degrees F, 0 cm rain, east wind. Which conclusion is best supported?
ANorth wind caused the thermometer to break.
BRain increased as temperatures rose.
CAs the week got warmer, rain decreased and east wind became more common.
DWind direction and rain stayed the same all week.
Solution & Explanation:Temperature rises across the week, rainfall drops from 2 centimeters to 0, and east wind appears on the last three days.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which setup would improve both wind and rain measurements?
APlace both tools under a tree.
BPlace the wind vane in an open area and the rain gauge away from roof runoff.
CPut the wind vane indoors and the rain gauge on a window ledge.
DLay the rain gauge on its side and turn the wind vane toward a wall.
Solution & Explanation:An open area gives the wind vane better airflow, and keeping the rain gauge away from roof runoff prevents extra water from changing the measurement.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A table and graph both show Monday 62 degrees F, Tuesday 66 degrees F, Wednesday 70 degrees F, and Thursday 74 degrees F. Which claim is supported by both?
AThe week warmed each day.
BThe week cooled each day.
CRainfall increased each day.
DWind was from the north every day.
Solution & Explanation:The numbers go up each day from Monday to Thursday, so both the table and graph support a warming pattern.
