Reading Practice: The School Weather Station

Reading Text

Arun and his classmates wanted to learn more about the weather. Their science teacher, Ms. Hall, helped them build a small weather station in the school garden. They placed it away from tall walls and trees so that the wind could reach the instruments. A clear sign showed students where to read the measurements.

Each morning, two pupils checked the temperature and looked at the rain gauge. They wrote the results in a notebook before lessons began. On windy days, they watched a ribbon to see which way the air was moving. The class compared the numbers at the end of every week and made a simple chart.

After a month, the pupils saw that rainy days were often cooler than sunny days. They also learned that one measurement could not explain every change. The teacher asked them to check the station at the same time each day. The project made science feel connected to their own school, and the pupils enjoyed sharing their weekly chart with other classes.
