Grade 3 Sheet 3 challenges learners to forecast weather from cloud shapes and air pressure changes. Students answer multiple choice questions about cumulonimbus, cirrus, and other cloud types, falling barometric readings, and the differences between mountain and coastal climates. Fill-in-blank items reinforce Grade 3 Science vocabulary like cumulus, stratus, nimbus, and pressure so students learn to read sky clues and tools that meteorologists use to predict the weather.

Weather and Climate
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Grade 3 students see tall, dark cumulonimbus clouds. What weather is most likely coming?
A) A clear sunny day
B) A heavy thunderstorm
C) Light snow flurries
D) Cool foggy morning
2. On a Grade 3 weather map, falling air pressure usually means what kind of weather is coming?
A) Stormy or rainy weather
B) Hot, sunny weather
C) Calm, clear skies
D) No change at all
3. Grade 3 students compare a coastal town and a mountain town. Which weather pattern fits the coast?
A) Very cold winters with deep snow
B) Mild temperatures with sea breezes
C) Dry desert heat all year
D) Heavy snow at the peaks
4. Grade 3 readers see thin, wispy cirrus clouds high in the sky. What does this often mean?
A) A tornado is forming now
B) Heavy snow has begun
C) Weather change in a day or two
D) Hot dry desert air today
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. Grade 3 students learn that puffy, white, cotton-like fair-weather clouds are called cumulus.
2. In Grade 3 science, low gray sheet-like clouds that often bring drizzle are called stratus.
3. Grade 3 forecasters use a barometer to measure changes in air pressure.
4. Grade 3 maps show that mountain regions usually have heavy snowfall and colder temperatures.
5. Grade 3 students learn that any cloud name with the word nimbus in it usually means rain.
