1. Cut a large circle from cardboard (30 cm diameter). 2. Divide the circle into 4 sections, labeling them: Sunny, Rainy, Cloudy, Windy. 3. Use a brad to attach an arrow (from a smaller cardboard piece) at the center, allowing it to spin. 4. Each day, observe the weather and spin the arrow to point to today's weather. 5. Draw a small picture or write a word in the corresponding section to document your findings. 6. After a week, compare how many days each type of weather occurred!
