A student recorded information about weather conditions in the data table shown.
Which is the best prediction for tomorrow’s weather based on the data here?
Cool and cloudy
Fair and mostly sunny
Cool, dark and stormy
Warm and partly cloudy
Which of the following statements best describes weather rather than climate?
The thunderstorm dropped about 3 inches of rain today.
The average summer temperatures have increased over the last 20 years.
The snowfall in this area is historically lowers than in states further north.
The average windspeed is higher in Hampton Roads than in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Use the chart to answer the question.
Which is a conclusion that can be drawn from this chart?
While the weather may change from year to year, the climate shows an overall slight increase in average temperature.
The world’s average temperature is getting cold each year and will likely continue that way.
Weather can only be measured over long periods of time, but climate can be measured each year.
The higher the average temperature one year, the lower it will be the next year.
When the pressure on the barometer is falling, what does that suggest?
It will be nice weather outside.
High pressure is in the atmosphere.
A storm is coming.
The barometer is broken.
What is a solution?
One substance spreads evenly throughout another substance
A change in the physical properties such as size and shape
A special mixture when one substance dissolves into another
Anything that takes up space and has mass
What measurement tool would be best used to measure the mass of a book?
Balance Scale
Thermometer
Graduated Cylinder
Meterstick
Which type of extreme weather event is most likely to occur during a
thunderstorm?
Tornadoes
Hurricanes
Blizzards
Typhoons
A student performs an experiment to separate salt and water by boiling the water until it turns into a gas called water vapor. Afterward, all that is left is the salt. Which would be the best hypothesis for this experiment?
I can turn water into a gas and melt the salt by boiling it.
If I boil the water long enough, then all that will be left is salt.
Salt cannot be turned into a liquid or a gas so I can separate it from water by adding heat.
If I add enough heat energy to the mixture, the salt will dissolve into the water.
A student is creating a poster with suggestions on how kids who live in our watershed can help to keep the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem healthy. She has included the following tips:
