• Cumulus

• Cirrus

Open Ended

How can observing the shape of clouds help meteorologists predict the weather?

Multiple Select

Which of the following are effects of the Coriolis Effect in hurricanes?

• Air spins around the low-pressure center

• Storms develop a swirling motion

• Clouds always move in a straight line

• Hurricanes lose energy quickly

Open Ended

Explain the difference between an observation and an opinion when describing weather conditions. Give an example of each.

Multiple Choice

What is the main mistake in the table shown in the 'Can You Find The Mistake?' slide?

• An opinion is matched with the wrong observation.

• A picture is matched with the wrong observation.

• An observation is matched with the wrong opinion.

• A weather tool is missing from the table.

Multiple Select

Which of the following are examples of observations?

• The weather station recorded a temperature of 75°F (24°C) at 3 p.m.

• The sky is so beautiful today.

• Doppler radar shows precipitation moving northeast at 25 mph, with a 90% probability of rain in the next two hours.

• I think it's going to rain later.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is an example of a fact?

• I think rainy days are relaxing.

• The temperature outside is 72°F.

• Sunny weather is the best kind of weather.
