Step 2 Scholastic Interactive Weather Maker
http://www.scholastic.com/kids/weather/
Explore how differences in temperature (toward equator and poles) and humidity
affect the weather. Follow the directions below and fill in the table as you
investigate.
Directions:
Even as you control the weather, there are still two rules you have to follow:
 The temperature towards the poles (either north or south) must always be less than the
temperature towards the equator.
 The maximum difference in the two temperatures is 70 degrees.
Other than that, you can make whatever kind of day you like just by moving the humidity slider
and either of the two temperature sliders.
Fill in the attached weather maker worksheet as you experiment with different
temperatures and amounts of humidity.
