The Weather - Weather Cards
Science Resource Description
The weather cards provide a visual representation of various weather conditions that one might experience. For instance, "Sunny" depicts clear skies with abundant sunshine, while "Sunny with some clouds" indicates a mostly bright day with a few scattered clouds. On the other hand, "Showers" suggests brief periods of rain, and "Overcast with sunshine" describes a predominantly cloudy sky that still allows some sun to peek through. The cards also differentiate between "Rain", a steady precipitation, and "Heavy rain", which implies a more intense downpour. Additionally, variations like "Rain with some sunshine" and "Heavy rain with some sunshine" capture those moments when sunlight manages to break through despite the rainfall.
For colder weather scenarios, the cards include "Sleet", which is a mix of rain and snow, and "Snow", indicating falling snowflakes that cover the landscape in white. More dynamic weather conditions are represented by "Thunderstorms with sunny spells", where the sun intermittently shines through a stormy sky, and "Thunderstorms", which denote a sky filled with lightning and thunder. The "Windy" card signifies strong winds, and "Hail" indicates the presence of ice pellets falling from the sky. These weather cards are useful tools for quickly conveying the day's weather conditions or for educational purposes to teach about different types of weather phenomena.
