This medium sheet focuses on severe weather and the tools meteorologists trust most. Nine fill-in-the-blank sentences teach first graders about thunderstorms, blizzards, and tornadoes and how each one looks and feels. A matching activity then pairs four tools, the thermometer, rain gauge, wind vane, and anemometer, with what they measure: temperature, rainfall, wind direction, and wind speed for accurate forecasts.

Weather Types
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word on the line.
1. A thunderstorm has thunder, lightning, and heavy rain.
2. A blizzard is a big snowstorm with strong winds and cold temperatures.
3. A tornado is a spinning funnel of wind that can cause damage.
4. In spring, the weather gets warmer and flowers start to bloom.
5. Summer is the hottest season of the year.
6. In fall, leaves change color and the weather gets cooler.
7. During a storm, you should go inside to stay safe.
8. A hurricane is a big storm that forms over the ocean with very strong winds.
9. Winter is usually the coldest season with the shortest days.
Part B: Match the Weather
Draw a line from each weather tool to what it measures.
