This Grade 3 weather and climate worksheet teaches the important difference between daily weather and long-term climate patterns. Students practice fill-in-the-blank questions about weather, climate, humidity, forecasts, and climate zones like tropical, temperate, and polar. A matching activity pairs each climate type with its main features such as temperature and rainfall. The worksheet helps students compare regions and understand that climate describes weather averages over many years.
Style:
Weather and Climate
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The day-to-day conditions of the air outside are called weather.
2. The long-term pattern of weather over many years in a place is called climate.
3. Hot, rainy regions near the equator have a tropical climate.
4. Very cold regions near the North and South Poles have a polar climate.
5. Climates with four seasons and mild temperatures are called temperate.
6. An imaginary line around the middle of the Earth is the equator.
7. We can show how much rain falls each month using a bar graph.
8. The amount of water vapor in the air is called humidity.
9. A prediction of what the weather will be like is called a forecast.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Tropical climate
→ Warm and rainy near the equator
Hot and very dry with little rain
Polar climate
→ Freezing cold near the poles
Warm and rainy near the equator
Temperate climate
→ Four seasons with mild weather
Freezing cold near the poles
Desert climate
→ Hot and very dry with little rain
Four seasons with mild weather
