Learners answer questions about cumulonimbus clouds, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and rainfall patterns. By choosing the best answers and completing science sentences, students apply what they know about weather tools, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal change to real-world forecasting situations.
