Harper and Mia are working on a science project about weather. They want to know what indicates atmospheric conditions above a large portion of the Earth's surface. Meteorologists use weather maps to forecast the weather. Fill in the blank: ________ indicate atmospheric conditions above a large portion of the Earth's surface.

During a science class, Harper and Mia observe that a fast-moving cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass, causing the warm air to be lifted off the ground and resulting in heavy rain. This type of weather front is called a ________.

Barron and Vivienne are at the beach on a hot day. They notice that the ocean water stays cool even though the sun has been shining all day. This helps keep the beach temperature comfortable for everyone. What is this property of water called?

During a science experiment, Mitchell noticed that when he mixed different substances like salt and sugar into water, they dissolved easily. His teacher explained that this is because water is polar and can dissolve many different substances (solutes). What is water called because of this property?
