Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. When tiny ice balls fall from the sky, it is called hail.
Winter weather is cold enough for water to freeze. When frozen water falls as snowflakes, we call the day snowy.
2. In winter, you might see frost on the grass in the morning.
A breeze is soft, moving air that cools your skin. That is why a gentle breeze feels so refreshing when the weather is hot.
3. A gentle breeze feels nice on a warm day.
Hail is made in storm clouds where water freezes into small, hard ice balls. When those balls get too heavy, they fall down.
4. On a clear day, there are no clouds in the sky.
Shorts let air reach your legs so you stay cool. That is why they are the perfect thing to wear on a warm day.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A thermometer tells us how hot or cold it is.
True False
True. Clouds hold lots of tiny water drops, and when the drops get too heavy the cloud lets them go, which is how we get rain.
2. We wear sandals when it is snowing outside.
True False
False. A tornado is a very strong, spinning column of wind that can damage houses and trees. It is the opposite of a gentle breeze.
3. Fog makes it very easy to see far away.
True False
True. Fog is a cloud that sits close to the ground. When the air is full of tiny water drops like that, it looks misty and hazy.
