I believe this is a credible interactive website for students to develop knowledge about weather. The credibility is established by the “Credits” page where all the developers and publishers are listed with a description of their role in the making of the website. The website is published by the University of Illinois, which is a trusted educational institute.

This website is great to accompany weather lessons in the elementary setting. This site is designed with kid-friendly images and cartoons to engage students. It features five different tabs that includes information about the sun, seasons, temperature, clouds, and precipitation. At a lower elementary level, a teacher can read aloud the prompts for each section as the students experiment with the interactive images. This website can relate to the twin text topic, weather, as its information aligns with other multimedias about this topic.
