Bonus Challenges:
Create a weather map or diagram to illustrate your findings.
Build a simple weather instrument, such as a rain gauge or a wind vane.
Research the causes of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and droughts.
Share your weather observations and predictions on social media using #EdExpress!
