Wind direction can be found using a
wind vane. The arrow turns to point
into the wind.
This wind vane is pointing South, so the
wind is blowing from the South.
Can you spot a wind vane in your local area?

Temperature is a measure of how warm or cold it is.
Temperature is measured using a thermometer.
The units of temperature are degrees Fahrenheit
(°F) or degrees Celsius (°C).
Temperatures are measured in the shade, so
the Sun’s rays do not heat up the instrument.
