In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space. Learners will visit the National Weather Service website and use the zip code search feature to research the day's forecast. Then learners use art supplies to create icons and the forecast poster. This activity can be repeated each day of the week or learners can forecast a week at a time. Use this activity to discuss weather forecasting and weather fluctuations.
