When the air is in motion. It's created when air moves from high

pressure areas to places with lower pressure.

Any water that falls from clouds.

It can be rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Power from the sun. It gives us light, warmth, and it

can even be turned into electricity!

This is a weather prediction for the next few days. It tells us if it

will be sunny, rainy, hot, or cold soon.

This is a weather prediction for several weeks or months. It helps

us plan for seasons like summer or winter.

Wind is measured with a thermometer

Humidity is how much water is in the air

The amount of sunshine can affect air temperature

Precipitation means only rain

Atmospheric pressure is how heavy the air is

How warm or cold the air is

How many clouds in the sky

How much sunlight is reaching us

Anemometers measure wind speed.

Hygrometers show how much moisture is in the air.

The arrow on a wind vane points to where the wind is coming from

Low air pressure means good weather

Rain gauges are complex tools that are hard to use

Which one measures the speed of the wind?

Which one measures the weight of the air in our

atmosphere?

Which one measures the amount of water vapor in the air?

Which one detects when and where a lightning strike has

occurred?

Which one records how much rain has fallen

Which one is a device that indicates how hot or cold it is?

Which one is a tool that shows the direction of the wind

People in the past used computer systems for predicting weather

People watched animals to help predict the weather

Birds fly high up before a storm

Watching animals is a scientific and accurate way of predicting weather

Weather sayings are always accurate

Weather stations are only in 10 of the biggest cities in the world

Satellites orbit around the Earth

Computers take all the data and use it to predict the weather

Current models are not as accurate as historical models

There are no weather stations in Saskatchewan

1. Radar takes images of the Earth and sends data to forecast centres

2. Radar is used to measure precipitation

3. Radar gets its name from the term Radio Detection and Ranging

4. Doppler radar is a simpler version of radar

5. Doppler radar gives information on the wind as well as precipitation

A meteorologist is someone who studies the _________

Meteorologists can predict the ___________

Satellites collect __________ from the in the sky.

Supercomputers make ____________ of what the weather will look like.

We wouldn’t be able to predict the weather without __________

1) Cumulus clouds often indicate good, clear weather.

2) Stratus clouds are high in the sky and made of ice crystals.

3) Fog is a type of stratus cloud that's touching the ground.

4) Nimbostratus clouds are known for bringing thunder and lightning.

5) Cirrus clouds are fluffy and white, resembling cotton.

A) Tall, dark clouds that bring thunderstorms, heavy

rain, or even tornadoes.

B) Big gray blankets covering the sky, often bringing

drizzly, gloomy weather.

C) Thin and wispy clouds, found high up in the sky and

usually indicate good weather.

D) Fluffy, white clouds, looking like pieces of cotton

floating in the sky.

E) Thick, dark clouds that cover the sky and bring

steady rain or snow.

1) Air shrinks and falls when heated.

2) Wind is air moving from low to high pressure.

3) On a sunny day, the air pressure is usually low.

4) Hot air balloons rise because hot air expands.

5) Air doesn’t take up space because we can’t see it

1) Changes in air pressure makes

2) In the mountains, air pressure is

3) Warm air…

4) It is warmer…

5) Air pressure makes

1. A hot object will send a lot of thermal energy to a cold object

2. If objects are the same temperature, the thermal energy will be weak

3. An ice cube in a freezer has a lot of thermal energy

4. An ice cube in boiling water feels a lot of thermal energy

5. Temperature affects how fast particles move

1) What heats up quickly under the Sun?

2) What stays warmer at night?

3) What absorbs heat more slowly?

4) Where can temperatures reach high levels during the day?

5) Which has a mild temperature because of water

1) Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapour

2) When vapour rises, it cools and forms clouds

3) Condensation is when water drops to the surface

4) The sun’s energy is what drives the water cycle

5) When plants evaporate water, it is called precipitation

When rain or snow falls from clouds

When evaporated water in the form of gas turns into liquid water

droplets in the sky

When water from oceans, rivers, and streams heats up the

surface water and turns it into a gas

When water from plants evaporates

When water on the ground seeps into the groundwater

1. Convection currents are when warm and cold air move in a circle

2. Heat transfer happens in liquids through convection

3. Convection needs contact for heat transfer

4. When you touch something hot, convection is transferring the warm air

5. Warm particles rise and cool particles sink

1) When the land is warm, the air above the land will sink

2) When the sea is warmer, the air above will rise

3) Once the air rises, it cools and moves

4) Water changes temperature faster than land

5) Sea breezes happen because of the Sun’s heat
