(5) NOAA and The National Weather Service provide free historic weather data for a multitude of areas. The search function allows teachers to find the weather information they want students to look at and NOAA will email it as a table. The table is student-friendly to look at and can be printed to assist with graphing weather trends. (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/)
