Introduction

Air and weather are important parts of our environment. We breathe air, and weather affects what we wear and what activities we can do each day.

What is Air?

• Air is all around us. We cannot see it, but we can feel it when it moves (wind).
• We need air to breathe. It helps us stay alive.
• When we blow up a balloon, we are filling it with air.

What is Weather?

• Weather is how hot or cold, wet or dry, and windy or calm it is outside.
• We use weather forecasts to know if it will rain, be sunny, or be cloudy.
• Seasons like rainy season and dry season are types of weather changes.

• Air is all around us and helps us breathe.
• Weather tells us if it is hot, cold, rainy, or windy outside.
• We can feel air when it moves as wind.
