Weather Types — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. storm
2. cloud
3. wind
4. foggy
5. sunny
6. rain
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The sun is shining in the sky.
The sun is the bright, hot star in our sky. Its light makes the day warm and lets us see everything around us.
2. We use an umbrella when it is rainy.
An umbrella blocks falling water from reaching you. That is why we grab one when the weather is rainy and water is coming down from the sky.
3. A cloudy day has lots of white fluffy shapes in the sky.
When the sky is full of clouds, we call the day cloudy. The fluffy white shapes are just lots of water drops floating together.
4. Strong wind can blow leaves off trees.
Strong wind has enough power to push on leaves and branches. A really strong wind can shake leaves loose and send them flying.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. Snow falls when it is very hot outside.
True False
False. Snow is made of frozen water, so the air has to be cold for snow to fall. In hot weather the snow would melt into water.
2. Rain comes from clouds in the sky.
True False
True. Clouds hold tiny water drops, and when they gather too many, the drops fall out of the cloud and become rain.
3. You can see a rainbow after it rains and the sun comes out.
True False
True. Rainbows form when sunlight shines through water drops still hanging in the air after rain, splitting the light into pretty colors.
