This hard worksheet pushes second graders to think more carefully about weather science. Part A presents four multiple-choice questions about thunderstorm clouds, temperature tools, and evaporating puddles, asking children to choose the best answer. Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blank sentences about lightning, fog forming near the ground, and hail made of ice.
It strengthens reasoning skills and introduces vocabulary children will revisit when studying the water cycle in Grade 3.
