Graphing Weather

Name: ___________________
Directions: Answer all of the questions on graphing
weather.
1.

Write why you believe meteorologists use

graphs to help them predict the weather?

2.

Draw a picture of what a bar graph looks like.

3.

Draw a picture of what a line graph looks like.

4.

****When giving this formative assessment at the

beginning, middle, and end of the lesson, I will assist
students in reading the directions and questions if
needed. ****
Accommodation: The accommodation for this
assessment would be for a student with cerebral palsy.
Instead of students writing down the answer to the
question in number 1, I could ask them to verbally say
it, with the help of a speech therapist. To make the
graphs, the student could use an iPad to draw the
graph. I could give the basic set up each of the graph,
which is inserted below. Then, I could save the
template for each graph to the iPad, and insert it to
the app, Doodle Buddy. On this app, the student could
draw the pictures of the graphs on here, and select
different colors to use. The student can then save
their work and I could assess it. The student could also
take breaks in between making each graph.

procedure listed above.
