This challenging worksheet asks first graders to identify cumulonimbus clouds that bring thunderstorms, evaporating puddles on a hot sunny day, a weather vane that shows wind direction, and snow as the soft white precipitation of winter. Four multiple-choice questions compare cloud names like cirrus, stratus, and cumulus.
Five fill-in-the-blank sentences then build deeper science vocabulary with stratus clouds, a tornado as a spinning column of air, the sun creating weather, ice crystals falling as hail, and spring rain showers that help flowers grow. Children leave able to explain how clouds, wind, and precipitation connect.
