"Weather" is the broadest term that encompasses all aspects of the topic that the teacher is planning to cover with their students. It provides a clear focus for the concept map and allows for the inclusion of subtopics such as changes in weather and weather instruments. While rain gauges are a weather instrument, it is too specific to serve as the main concept for the entire topic.
