NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

An instrument that measures changes in air

pressure and is used to forecast the weather.

• barometer

• thermometer

• anemometer

• hydrologic cycle

NGSS.MS-ESS2-5

A type of high cloud that is wispy. Isolated

cirrus clouds indicate stable, clear weather. An

increasing number may be a sign of an approaching

storm.

NGSS.MS-ESS2-5

An instrument that is used to measure

temperature.

• Thermometer

• Rain gauge

• Anemometer

• Barometer

The constant movement of the Earth’s water.

Plants give off moisture, and water from lakes, rivers,

and oceans evaporates, making water vapor. This

vapor rises, forms clouds, and eventually falls as rain,

hail, or snow.

• Precipitation

• Air pressure
