    Drawing tips for nature & weather

    Weather is lines: rain is dashes, wind is curves, lightning is a zigzag. Plants are the leaf shape. For processes (evaporation, erosion), draw a three-step comic strip.

    Who this category suits

    It is a natural fit for science lessons and for the weather-obsessed. There are 142 easy words, 180 medium and 154 hard, so it works as a whole-game theme rather than a single round: set the difficulty from the menu above and the pool moves with the table. 6 of the words are grown-up references that only appear with the Adults audience; the rest are safe for everyone. A round idea: Forecast round: every word must be drawn inside a TV screen, as a weather map.
