4-H Weather & Climate Science
Manuals
- Weather & Climate Science Level 1
- Weather & Climate Science Level 2
- Weather & Climate Science Level 3
Completion Requirements
Turn in your completed record sheet to your 4-H Club Leader or the Extension Office by the required date.
Youth will learn basic information about weather and climate science, including what causes variations in weather and why we have different seasons and climates on the earth. In this project you will observe and record weather conditions and learn weather symbols.
