children just through the window and guess the day's condition
children depends on their parents for prediction of the day's condition

They usually don't broach on that subject until high school. I didn't get into that until 9th grade in geography. I do know my 6 year old grand daughter would not be able to grasp the concept at her age. I am assuming that is why the school wait until they are older. Hope this helps!!!

There's also a lot of adults that don't seem to know the difference. The question I just answered was from someone thinking that because it was cold where he is that it disproved global warming.
I think as far as kids are concerned it's much easier for them to relate to weather, after all, they experience it every day. Once they've gained an understanding of weather basics then they can begin to look at the broader issues of climate.
Oddly, I don't ever remember being taught anything other than the absolute basics at school about either weather of climate.

A child's world is very small - so weather = climate!

Because they don't know their difference.
